Growing in Christ, we welcome, worship and witness. Worship services are Saturday 5:00pm, Sunday 8:00am and 9:45am. Facebook Live services are Wednesday 7pm and Sunday 9:45am.
Welcome to St. John's Lutheran Church!
God has blessed St. John’s since 1862 with faithful members, pastors, and newcomers. We’re a congregation of sinners and saints of all ages. Our worship blends traditional and contemporary, with opportunities for growth, fellowship, and service. We extend Christ’s welcome to all who seek to worship, know, and serve the Lord.
St. John’s is canceling worship and in-person gatherings for 2 weeks. We’ll re-evaluate that on the 31st. We’ll do a simple Facebook Live worship on Sunday at 9:45. We’ll be emailing more details to everyone whose email we have. And we’ll use snail-mail for those folks who do not use email. Let’s hold each other in prayer; stay home as much as possible; Connect online as we can; and pray even more for the most vulnerable ones nearby and around the world.
Here’s St. Paul’s best words of wisdom for a time like this (and remember, he was writing from a dungeon),
Philippians 4:6-7 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
6 Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Watch And See All About St. John's Church

Pastor Paul Mittermaier
In the days Jesus walked the earth, Good News was passed mainly by word of mouth. After Jesus found Philip (in The Gospel of John, chapter 1) Philip invited Nathanael — an honest skeptic — to “Come and see!’
When St. John’s came into being in 1862, the Good News was spread largely by word of mouth, partly in print-especially books, and partly by sign and by newspaper. Now, it’s the 21st century and churches have the Internet to help spread God’s Good News instantly to folks near and far!
Would Jesus use the Internet? I’m certain that the One who communicated wonderfully with insiders and outsiders would! If you are a person searching for a church home, we invite you to Come and See if this is a congregation where you could feel welcome and could grow your faith and share your faith.
If you’re currently one of the insiders at St. John’s, we hope this website will communicate relevant information about the mission and ministry you are part of, and also link you to other important sites in the wider church. We also ask you to send our link to friends, relatives, neighbors, who might like to see what’s going on — with God’s help — at St. John’s.
St. John’s has been a welcoming church for over 146 years. We’re growing with the Jackson, Germantown, Slinger, Richfield, West Bend, and Cedarburg areas and we understand that God has blessed us to be a blessing. If you’d like to worship, if you’d like to look into our Christian Education programs, if you’d like to explore baptism, confirmation, or are thinking of getting married, contact us. We have already made room in our building and in our hearts for you!
Peace and joy,
Paul Mittermaier, PastorSunday, March 15, 2020

10 Healed=1 Thankful? Bible Background: Luke may have been a physician, and he tells more healing stories (and uses more medical terms) than the other 3 gospels. Leprosy might have been any number of skin diseases, made worse by the determination that you were “unclean” ritually,

LUKE 15: LOST + FOUND = CELEBRATE! Bible Background: This is found only in Luke! Jesus tells 3 parables of the lost being found and celebrated. Note that he tells these in response to the Pharisees and scribes who are “grumbling that this man eats with tax collectors and sinners!”

Mary & Martha Luke 10:38-42 Bible Background: This is in the same chapter as the “Mission of the 70”, and the “Good Samaritan”, where Jesus has emphasized some pretty important things! The challenge of this short reading is the challenge between “being”

LUKE 10:25-42 WHO ACTED AS A NEIGHBOR? Bible Background: Luke 10 is the chapter after Jesus ‘sets his face to go to Jerusalem’. This section is special to Luke (meaning that Matthew and Mark do not have this series of stories). Jesus has sent the 70 on their mission; he has found
