If you know someone who is in need of prayer but whose name is not listed, it may be that
they have asked not to be included in the printed bulletin. Please remember them in your
personal prayers.
Flowers on the altar this weekend are sponsored by Gayle & Donna Short in
celebration of Kyle & Rachels birthdays; and by Diane Hansen in loving memory of
her dad, Kenneth Schafer.
PLEASE CONTACT THE CHURCH OFFICE if you or someone you know is hospitalized
and would enjoy a visit. Our church staff and hospital visiting volunteers would be
happy to greet, see, and pray with you.
FIRST COMMUNION: If your child is interested in receiving the Lord's Supper for the
first time, please contact Pastor Justin to schedule a time of instruction prior to April

(April 2) or Easter Sunday (April 5).
If your cell phone rings aloud during the sermon today, you will be fined
$20 for Walk for Water.

!! CUFF it UP!!
On March 1, St. Johns
began
!! CUFF it UP!! a
fundraiser for the ELCA
World Hunger Walk for Water program.
!! CUFF it UP!! has been very successful, with
over 85 insurance policies already sold.
BUT the handcuffs are ready. Each weekend
random names will be drawn from the church
directory -- if your name is drawn and you do not
have insurance, you may be wearing cuffs!
DID YOU KNOW? The average African woman or
child walks 3 miles a day for water (and not always
clean water) for their family. They carry between
5 to 20 gallons each trip. (A gallon of water weighs
approx. 8 lbs.)
