Midweek Lenten Worship Schedule

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18. Midweek services will be held every Wednesday during Lent beginning at 7:00PM. The Ash Wednesday service will include Holy Communion. The Sunday School will serve supper before the Ash Wed. service at 5:30PM. A free will offering will be collected with proceeds going toward scholarships for children attending Camp Okoboji this Summer.

The theme of this year's Lenten Midweek series is "The Parables of Lent." Once again St. John will be participating in a rotation with other congregations in the Mapleton Circuit. Each week on of the neighboring pastors will bring a different message in the series.
