The OWLs ministry of St. John's has been meeting for almost 3 years now and it is a terrific group of "Older-Wiser-Lutherans" who have a good time eating their brown bag lunch together and then enjoying a program and dessert; just bring a sandwich or salad for yourself and dessert and drinks are furnished. Some terrific programs are offered, too. The OWL's meet in the church social hall on the 4th Wednesday of each month, at 12:30 pm till about 2:00 pm. |

This summertime ministry to elementary children offers a week of fun, theme-based instruction in the Christian faith. Our entire congregation benefits from the enrichment of our children as they are steeped in the words of our Lord, Creator. A sense of community developed which instilled an atmosphere of welcome to St. John's Church for all. This included children from St. John's Christian Pre-school and the surrounding neighborhood.
