Pastor's Welcome...

God's Peace to You!

 

Please feel welcome to come and worship with us at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. We are a congregation of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We gather for worship on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion every Sunday. All baptized Christians are invited to the table of our Lord.

 

As the baptized, we are eager to share the story of Jesus the Christ who, God made flesh, came to us to teach, preach, and heal. All the time he was heading for Jerusalem, where he was hailed as king, then killed on a cross, and raised from the dead. We hear this story through the Lutheran confessions which underline the biblical words of Paul that we are saved by grace through faith.

 

Please join us for the gracious encounter of Jesus our Lord!

 

Your Servant in Christ,

Pastor Susan Folks

 

Grace Abounding!

Visitors often comment when they come to worship with us that they can feel our joy at being gathered together in the name of Jesus.  We delight to see and hear God active in each other's lives and ministries. 

Sunday School is at 10:45 am.  All ages are invited to participate.

It is a great time to be a part of St. John's!

Pottstown Lutherans to Hold 3rd Gathering

 

Members of Emmanuel, Grace, St. James, St. John, and St. Peter have been meeting to get to know each other better and to talk about how we might be a more connected Lutheran presence in the community of Greater Pottstown.

 

A third meeting will take place at St. John's on March 20th from 9 am until noon.  It would be great if more members of St. John's wold get involved with this process.  We will also need to provide morning goodies to share with the other congregations.  There were over 20 at the first meeting, and over 30 at the second, so we should be prepared for even more.
