2 | St. John's Lutheran Church | 150th Anniversary For 100 years God in grace has granted St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church a precious heritage – the heritage of God's Word. That Word has been, and still is, proclaimed and taught by our called pastors and teachers. It moves us to active service, support and fellowship. May God ever preserve that great heritage of his word among us in the years to come. "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making remembrances with joy. For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ…And this I pray, that your love may about yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; That ye may approve things that are excellent: that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ: Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Amen." Phillipians 1, 3-6, 9-11 Pastor H. A.
