Catechesis & New Membership
Catechesis means "Instruction in the Christian Faith." Catechesis
begins when one inquires about membership in the
Evangelical-Lutheran Church and continues in various forms
throughout the life of a Christian.
Those desiring membership at St. John are asked to speak with the
pastor. In order to receive the Lord's Supper, instruction in the
Christian faith according to the Scriptures and Luther's Small
Catechism is necessary. There is no fee or obligation for
instruction.
Those who are already members of St. John mature and deepen in
their understanding of the faith and their love for the Lord and
neighbor by attending Divine Service and, as schedules permit,
partaking of one or more of the following forums for ongoing
catechesis:
- Adult Bible Class, held Sundays at 10:30 a.m.
- Midweek School, for Grades 4–8 preparing to receive the Lord's
Supper; meets Wednesdays during the school year from 6:30 – 7:45
p.m. in the basement.
- Adult Catechesis (new member instruction) contact the pastor
for the current schedule or to schedule a time.
Visitation of the Hospitalized and Homebound - From the
Pastor
There are circumstances in life that might land someone in the
hospital. As your pastor, I consider it a high priority to visit
when one of our members is in the hospital. But I might not always
get the message. Sometimes people forget. Sometimes you might assume
that someone else will let me know. If I should know that someone is
in need of a pastoral visit in the hospital, please let me know. I
would rather get five calls or messages letting me know than none.
Thank you, Pastor Toensing
