Virtual Tour of St. John's Lutheran 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 160 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, Pastor

ADVENT INVITATION AND PROMISE + JOEL 2 Bible Background: Joel is one of the ‘minor’ prophets (shorter writings than Isaiah, for example, and less known about the author.) Scholars aren’t sure of the time frame for Joel. The short book is a call to repentance and lament and

THE GOD OF DANIEL Bible Background: Daniel may be ‘the most unusual book in the Old Testament’. The first half of the book reads like folk stories of Jews in exile. The second half of the book is full of apocalyptic writing (similar to Revelation) that uses vivid images to help

JEREMIAH 23 = WHAT’S ON YOUR HEART? Background on Jeremiah: Jeremiah was a ‘reluctant’ prophet, called by God as a youth. He has the thankless task of speaking God’s Word to the Southern Kingdom (Judah) before and during the time of exile to Babylon, around 608 BC.

On this eclipse day, I invite you to take time to ponder the magnificence of God's creation, and also the wonder of God's Word! Read Psalm 19. Here's a very interesting 'take' on those opening verses by Eugene Petersen in The Message: ![]()
God’s glory is on tour in the skies,![]()
God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.![]()
Madame Day holds classes every morning,![]()
Professor Night lectures each evening.![]()
![]()
Their words aren’t heard,![]()
their voices aren’t recorded,![]()
But their silence fills the earth:![]()
unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.
On Monday evening (after the eclipse!) a few of us will gather for a first time, Grief Support group. You and neighbors and friends are welcome to bring your tears, your insights, your aching hearts. We'll count on the comfort of the Holy Spirit to be with us! 6:30 is the time!
