Dear Friends,
We are now limiting attendance to 100 per service to maintain social distancing. In order to do that in an organized way without having to turn anyone away, we’re asking our members to sign up on a first come, first served basis. Also, per the governor's executive order, face masks are required in public gatherings, churches included. Thanks for your patience as we navigate through these unprecedented times!
St. John’s Church Campout ~ We are so excited to announce the first ever St. John's Church Campout at the Sleepy Eye Sportsmen's Park the nights of June 25-26. Both one or two night reservations are possible. The link to reserve your campsite is HERE Once a reservation has been made, please make your payment within a week to hold your spot. There will be a church service at the campsite at some point during the weekend, and other fellowship activities will be included as well. We can't wait to see you there!
Sending Offerings through Bill Pay ~ Several members of St. John’s have asked if there is a way for them to make their weekly offerings automatically either online or by an automatic bank transaction. St. John’s is investigating our online giving options, but are not yet ready to receive online gifts. For the time being, we suggest that our members consider using your bank’s online Bill Pay service to make weekly or monthly gifts to St. John’s. If you have questions about using Bill Pay to make donations, please contact Financial Secretary Mike Thom at 507-217-7671.
You may also send your offerings by mail to: St. John's Church
627 South Washington St.
New Ulm, MN 56073
