Luther League Auction Work Helps Everybody Amber and Abby pitched in to get a little spring cleaning done as part of the Luther League Labor Auction. The kids get funding to help get them to the Luther League convention in New Orleans - the benefactors get eager hands to put to their tasks. A win-win situation for all.
Kids' Carnival 2009 The Kids' Carnival was a great success - lots of planning and welcome assistance from the New Orleans-bound Luther League group.
On Sunday, February 8th, the preschool, kindergarten and 1st-6th grade Sunday School students from St. John's Church in Guttenberg presented an early Valentines program to the residents of Guttenberg's Assistant Living Center and the Guttenberg Care Center. Joshua Stade's mother, Melissa, played the piano for the students at the Assisted Living Center. The students at the care center were directed by Steph Strader after a fun ride provided by Linda Campbell in a school bus. We thank them all for their part in making the day special for our “family” of parishioners at the Assisted Living and Care Centers. After the program the students presented the residents with Valentines they made the week before in Sunday School. photos of the Preschool-1st Graders...
Luther League Sledding January 2009
The "Secrets of the Stable" was presented on Sunday,
December 28 and was a rousing success. 109 (youth & teachers)
and 189 (Moms/Dads/Families) listened in as the
stable animals discussed the great event of the birth of Jesus. It was
masterfully directed by Pastor Harold McMillin and Diane Bockenstedt and all
the life-sized animal and other props were made by Lynn Moser. Bravo!
Bravo!
June 8, 2008 35th Anniversary of Pastor Harold's Ordination Pastor Gerrietts came to help recognize and celebrate the 35th anniversary of Pastor Harold McMillin's ordination - as did many parishioners past and present.
