Parents’ Discussion via Zoom
Desire an opportunity to discuss with other parents issues related to parenting? Especially during these unusual days of eLearning, staying at home, social distancing, there is a need for parents to share with each other and support one another.
Just such an opportunity is being provided by St. John Lutheran. Each Wed. over the lunch hour (12:00-1:00 PM) and each Thursday evening 7:00-8:00 PM a Zoom meeting will be available for parents who register by emailing DCE Tim Rippstein (Tim.Rippstein@stjohnseward.org) to let him know which time you prefer. Discussion prompting questions will be offered, but open forum and open discussion are encouraged.
Alternate VBS Poll
St. John is exploring alternatives to traditional VBS. Due to COVID-19 VBS will not be offered in its traditional format. For those who wish to consider alternate formats, please take the very brief poll at https://forms.gle/9jZjePLUpUuUPknz7 to help us consider possible alternative for this summer.
Devotions During the Week
Please watch for the emailed devotions from your Pastors each Mon., Wed. & Fri.
