Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Due to the ongoing ice storm affecting Lee County and surrounding areas, our elders have made the difficult but wise decision to cancel in-person church services this Sunday, January 25, 2026, for the safety and well-being of our entire congregation.

We are grateful that our visiting pastor, Pastor Harris, has graciously recorded a special message for our Sunday service. You can access the video here:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kpsuz9f6f01uzkgbgwe2b/Video-Jan-24-2026-1-20-44-PM.mov?rlkey=c86y5i13hsu3ueabb7ngd342g&st=61g50xn9&dl=0

Please stay safe, take precautions against the cold and icy conditions, and reach out to one another for any needs during this time. We look forward to gathering again soon.
Have a safe, restful, and blessed weekend in the Lord!

In His grace,
Elders
St. John Lutheran Church
