A special thank you to the people of St. John’s, church council of St. John’s and the Sunday School department of St. John’s for their generous contributions of toys and monetary donations that were provided to the Carbon County Children and Youth for their Christmas party . The party took place on Monday, December 23 for children of Carbon County in need and also the children in the Family Promise program. The kindness and generosity of the people of St. John’s is greatly appreciated and more than 60 children had a brighter Christmas this year! Also participating with St. John’s in this event were: The Mauch Chunk Rod and Gun Club, the Jim Thorpe Neighborhood Bank, Mason’s Cold Beer, C.W. Cooper Insurance (Lehighton) and Mario’s Pizza (Weissport). Thanks to all for their generosity!! Special thanks to John Hoffman for organizing toy drop off boxes and pick ups and for securing monetary donations.
The BQE concert held at the church on Sunday, December 1 was a great event and well attended. The concert along with a bake sale spear headed by Jessica Strohl, the day’s proceeds totaled $4014.00. This money was added to donations already received for World Hunger from the congregation and Sunday School to surpass $6,000 that will be directed to the ELCA World Hunger Appeal. Special thanks to the church council, to the concert committee and their hard work in putting the day together, to Maestro Randall D. Perry of the Bach and Handel Chorale and Claudia Handlovic, soprano for their generous contribution of their musical talents for this event. The BQE Strings quartet provided a wonderful hour of their music and the concert was enjoyed by all in attendance.

A Message from Pastor Bill
We have a new mission statement:
“To share God’s love in Christ in word and deed to a world in need.”
We seek to carry that out as we gather to worship each Sunday at 10:30am. We can be heard locally over radio station WLSH, 1410 AM and on the internet from all over by clicking on the link to that station. I am happy to report that our attendance is up during the last quarter.
Our Sunday School, which meets at 9:15am, helps our children and young people to grow in their understanding of the Bible and of our Christian faith.
We have begun a bi-monthly Bible study for adults entitled “Living with the Psalms”, which meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at 7:00pm to study the Psalms that are assigned for the upcoming Sundays.
This past summer we were engaged in our annual massive clothing giveaway and are also heavily involved in providing food for the hungry in our community.
By the way, if you find yourself walking along the switchback trail, feel free to pause and meditate in our beautiful Memorial Prayer Garden, maintained by our Lutheran Mens’ Group.
We’d love to have you join us as we share God’s love in Christ in word and deed to a world in need.
Blessings,
Pastor Bill
