COVID-19 - Notice of continued cancellation |
|
|
April 5, 2020 - In addition to the ongoing 'social distancing' measures taking place in all areas of the country, and the subsequent need to withhold gathering together for Worship, St. John works to supply our congregational members with alternate means of hearing God's Word and sharing, while distant from one another, a degree of fellowship in which technology provides. Along with our video & audio offerings during this difficult time, we can continue until further notice to seek out other LCMS church offerings online and “join” these fellow families in the worship of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (Links for more local options...) Also, look for "Mainstreet Living" which comes on at 10:30 a.m. on KLKN-TV on Sunday morning, or listen to the Lutheran hour on the radio, KFAB 1110 at 6:30 a.m. or KRVN 880 at 10:00 a.m.

From Pastor Toensing
Dear
Lord, grant us peace in the face of the COVID-19 virus. Remove our
fears and fill us instead with the assurance that you will be with
us. You are our refuge and strength. Give strength to our medical
personnel who are serving patients. Keep them safe from harm and
disease and grant them time of rest. Guide the medical personnel
seeking to find vaccinations and medicines that help those severely
affected. Grant all authority to work for the common good. Move us
to help where needed and to care for those who are sick. Bring us
through this pandemic crisis and grant us good health. Most of all,
increase our faith in Christ Jesus, through whom we have forgiveness
of sins and the hope for everlasting life. You are King and our
trust is in You. Hear our prayer for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen.
