Ministries

Whether it's providing a meal to a child in our community or sending quilts to refugees in a faraway country, reaching out to help others is a big part of St. John's Lutheran Church.

Fall Festival​​

 

On the first Saturday of November, the church is filled with crafts, quilts, and baked goods for the annual Fall Festival.  Swedish rye bread, ostkaka, and a variety of pies are traditional favorites as well as ham balls for lunch.

Quilters

​

Every Tuesday, the quilters gather at the church to do what they do best...make quilts. Some of the quilts are sold at the Fall Festival, but many more are given to people of need. In December, the quilters gave 15 quilts to selected families in Essex that were delivered by the Essex Fire Department.   Also, the quilters gave a quilt to Essex's ”Pink Out” basketball game in January. ​



Open Door Mission​​

 

Once a month, members go to the Open Door Mission in Omaha, NE, to volunteer and deliver any donations.  Members have assisted in the store, sorted clothing, helped unload cars with clothing donations, and served food.
