CHRISTMAS 2019 CHOIR CANTATA

Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song!
It was a busy and joyful week, with activities every day and a spirit of resurrection permeating our community.

Habitat for Humanity
|
Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.
1 Corinthians 10:24 St. John and other area Lutheran Churches worked together to help build a house. It is not just the house itself that is important. Working as a community of Christ on a project that benefits others is a reward all it's own.
After weeks of construction, just before the drywall went up the youth wrote messages of joy and Bible verses on the building's studs -- messages that will be covered forever but there nonetheless. |
Backside Ministries 2016
|
I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you took me into your home.
Matthew 25:35 The Christ Chapel on the grounds of Churchill Downs is the home of Backside Ministries, serving the needs of the people who care for the animals at the track.
St. John has the privilege, several times a year, of joining with the backside community in worship, song, meal, and celebration. It's part of our mission, and one of the joys of our lives. |
St. Matthews Area Ministries Birthday Cake Kits
|
He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 18:2-3 St. Matthews Area Ministries (St. MAM) is a congregation of churches in the St. Matthews area that band together to provide services to those in need.
People donated paper plates, forks, cake mix, cake pans, candles...And then we put everything necessary to host a child's birthday party in a single bag, so no kid in the St. Matthews area would have to go without a proper birthday celebration, no matter how strapped for cash his or her parents might be. |
