November 2025
Hard to believe dear friends that I first stepped into St John’s pulpit 10 short years ago. Where has the time gone? These past few years we have faced many uncertainties and lost some dear church friends, but remain strong sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Crown Point area. The Word of God calls us to faithfulness in serving our Lord Jesus Christ. In this month where we celebrate “Thanksgiving”, let’s be grateful for the One who loves us most. Embrace the spirit of the season as we do our best to follow God’s direction and leadership in our daily lives. HE is faithful!
Fall is fully underway! Color change is in the air as all those leaves have begun to fall. With Halloween now behind us we look forward to the seasons of Thanksgiving and the coming joys of Advent with Christmas! Just prior though, let’s honor our Veterans with a Patriotic service on November 9th. We will sing the Armed Services Medley and once again give thanks for our costly freedoms. Come be with us!
The following Sunday November 16 will be an EXTRA special day of Thanksgiving and worship as we will host the Billy Sampson Trio in the 10 am service. So many enjoyed the music and spirit from last year! Plan now to be with us and invite a friend! There is no charge for this concert. Blessings are guaranteed!
Ladies…keep your eyes focused on the Women’s Guild bulletin board regarding upcoming December dates for the annual Christmas party and fundraiser bazaar. You will want to get your tickets and prepare for these big days. Always fun celebrating the holiday seasons with our church family.
Lastly…PRAY for the heart of America and our world during these difficult days. Give thanks for all our blessings and share Jesus as our hope with all who will listen.
Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless!

Pastor Wendell and Kathy
