Visit St. John
We Invite You to Worship with Us
Are you a little afraid of attending church for
the first time?
Do you have a lot of questions about our church
or what is expected of you?
Do you wonder if you can bring children, or that
they may be too noisy?
Do you wonder what the service is like and you
won't know what to do?
Hopefully we can answer a few of your questions
so you first visits are not as intimidating. We want your
visit to be beneficial and relaxing.
We certainly want you to visit St. John Lutheran
Church. You will hear about our Lord, Jesus, the Christ, God
With Us! You will hear about his grace and love and all he has
done for us all.

Worship
Every church has its own style of worship.
Here at St. John our services are traditional with traditional
worship.
We have two worship services on Sunday morning
beginning at 7:45 and 10:15 a.m. Each service lasts about one
hour. The worship services center around the Word of God and
focus our attention on Him.
Each week an outline of service is printed in the
worship folder. An usher greets you at the entrance to the
sanctuary and helps everyone find a seat of their choice.

Dress
Sometimes people wonder how they are expected to
dress at a church they have never visited before.
Since the Bible presents no dress code, aside
from simple decency and Christian humility, St. John Lutheran Church
doesn't have any rules either. Worshipers come dressed
casually or more formally depending on personal preference.
Like most people, our members try to make their worship time at
church a special time. This is often reflected in the way they
dress.
But, dress is a personal matter of worship before
God. One may dress casually and rejoice that we have a God who
accepts us as we are. Another may dress to reflect the awe and
reverence we have for our Savior King.
On any Sunday at our church you may see running
shoes and high heels, jeans and suits, or open collars and ties.
When a person dresses out of love for God, the choice of dress
(casual or more formal) is acceptable to God... and us.

Offerings
"When will they take the offering?" "How
will it be collected?" "How much am I expected to give?"
"Do they want visitors to contribute too?" These are typical
worries about church offerings.
The Bible teaches that our offerings to God
should reflect our belief that all we have is his gift to us.
It teaches us that with our offerings we worship and honor God.
Like most Christians, our members bring offerings
to God through their church. Since offerings are gifts of love
for God, no one dictates what each person is to give.
We pass an offering plate during service so that
our worship include bringing gifts to God. (Offering
envelopes are available and keep our gifts a private matter known
only to God who sees what we do in private.)
You may wish at first to learn more about our
ministry before bringing your offerings to God through our church.
But you are welcome to participate as your heart leads you to give.
