The following represents the
schedule for upcoming Sunday Worship and Bible Class. Please know that evaluations
will continue as warranted.
We thank all who have been patient and understanding of our efforts to consider and meet the need for the safety of our members and community friends during the height of the pandemic. As we continue to evaluate and respond to the worship needs of our congregation, the Elders have asked that each communicant member provide a ballot response to the question of altering worship service opportunities once again. Please review the letter earlier provided via email, via church bulletin, or Sunday announcement. Thus responding as requested. God’s peace in Christ Jesus be with you all.

From Pastor Toensing
St. John’s members rejoice in receiving the gift of salvation from
God our Savior through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. We
rejoice in the gift of Baptism through which our sins are washed
away.
Many have been blessed to attend our in-person worship. Others have
worshiped from afar through digital means. The ability to stream and
record services is a blessing from God—but in-person is still
preferable. If you are in the Crete, Nebraska, area and are
considering worshipping with us in-person, we certainly welcome you
to attend. Please contact us for times and sign-up.
If you would like to visit with me as Pastor, please send me an email with information on how best to contact you. We seek to serve others—especially in sharing the Good News of Christ—as Christ has served us with His gift of salvation. We pray that God’s peace would be yours in Christ Jesus. - Pastor Toensing

The long season of Sunday’s now upon us are categorized by one of two names connected to an LCMS congregation’s chosen liturgical lectionary. Perhaps different from their local sister congregation.
