Monday Mantras from Martin 🐰

Well, Martin Luther has officially made himself at home around St. John. And since he seems to have no intention of leaving anytime soon, we figured we might as well let him share a little wisdom with us.

Today’s mantra:

“Be still. Take a breath. And remember…God’s got this.” 🤍

Martin may be a bunny, but he might just be onto something.

Happy Monday from Martin Luther and all of us at St. John! 🐰⛪️

🎶 A Look Back at the St. John Choir 🎶

Take a look at this wonderful photograph from what we believe was the 1950s, featuring the St. John Lutheran Church Choir, along with Pastor Ralph Randloff and Mrs. Randloff.

A church choir is so much more than a group of people who stand in the front of the sanctuary and sing. It is people sharing their voices and their time to help lead the congregation in worship. It is rehearsals, learning harmonies, choosing music, and probably a few laughs along the way!

For generations, the choir has been one of the many ways people at St. John have shared their God-given gifts with the congregation. Their voices helped fill the sanctuary with hymns and songs of praise, creating memories that have lasted long after the final note was sung.

Looking at this photograph today, we’re reminded that music has always been an important part of the life of St. John Lutheran Church. 🎶

We’re grateful for those who shared their voices, their time, and their love of music with our church over the years.

Do you recognize anyone in this picture? If you know who is pictured, we’d love for you to help us put names with these faces and preserve a little more of St. John’s history! ❤️⛪

There are some stories you can tell with words. And then there are stories you can tell with stitches. 🧵❤️

Today, we’re looking back at the quilting ladies of St. John Lutheran Church—women who gathered around frames, fabric, and fellowship to create beautiful quilts for people and families in our community and beyond.

Lots of stitches. Lots of laughter. Lots of friendship. And so many memories woven into every quilt.

These pictures are more than just a glimpse into the past. They remind us of what has always made St. John special: people coming together, using the gifts they have, caring for one another, and serving others in quiet but meaningful ways.

As we continue sharing pieces of St. John’s history, we’re reminded that a church is built by more than bricks and mortar. It is built by the people who show up, lend a hand, share a laugh, and leave something beautiful behind for the generations who follow.

We are grateful for the women whose hands (and hearts) helped stitch together so much of the story of St. John.

A little history. A lot of love. And a legacy still being woven.

Ladies First…Now the Gentlemen! 📸

We did “ladies first,” so it’s only fitting that we now turn our attention to some of the gentlemen of St. John!

This photograph from 1964 features the men of the Lutheran Brotherhood…men who were an important part of the life, fellowship, and work of our congregation.

Their names are listed below the photograph, helping us put faces to the names and remember the men who helped shape St. John through the years.

We’re grateful for the generations who have faithfully served, gathered, worked, and worshiped together, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be part of our church family today. ❤️

If you’ve been following along, you already know that Martin Luther, the St. John courtyard bunny, has made himself quite at home around the church.

This morning, he took on a new role: Sunday greeter. He was out in the courtyard welcoming folks as they arrived for worship, apparently making sure everyone knew they were in the right place.

At this point, we’re not sure if Martin Luther is becoming part of the congregation or simply taking his job as church mascot very seriously. Either way, we’re happy to have him around. 🐰❤️
