I would like to personally thank all the members of the various choirs that participated in this year's Easter Hymn Festival "With High Delight." The music and singing was fantastic! I would also like to take a moment to thank all of our congregation members who came out to support the music program, the children of our congregation, the choir members, and the Cantor and Pastor. Your attendance at these festivals makes all of our hearts glad and makes the hard work and preparation all the more worth it!
What a great way to celebrate God's blessings among us for the past 90 years here at St. John's. This is just one of many celebration that we will have this anniversary year. We will continue to sing the anniversary hymn texts and tune that Cantor Peters and I have written during the course of the year to become more familiar with them.
The Board of Education has discussed the idea of having a "multi-generational" Bible study and craft opportunity this summer on the Wednesday nights in July. Every family here at St. John's will get an 81/2 x 11 cloth panel to decorate for your family. You can put on this panel anything you want to recall how you became a part of the St. John's family. Then we will hopefully put all the panels together and make a large quilt to commemorate the 90 years of blessing here at St. John's. So make plans to join us this summer to participate in this fun and exciting opportunity to grow closer together as a church family.
We will also have the privilege of hosting this August 23, 2009, District President Ray Mirly, at our 90th Anniversary Divine Service at 4:00 p.m. So mark your calendars now to attend and celebrate with us. The service will be followed with a congregational dinner to be held in the basement here at St. John's.
