In-person services every Sunday at 9:30 am
St. John Lutheran is now providing in-person as well as virtual services every Sunday. There will be one spoken service at 9:30 am. We comply with CDC Guidelines as well as those set by the State of New Jersey. At this time, masks are not mandated, but are highly recommended. We also make every effort to maintain at least 3 feet of social distancing. There will be no singing during the service, which features piano played by our own minister of music, Julia Henrich, and pre-recorded choral music performed by our choir.
Congratulations, Pastor Kevin!

The Reverend Kevin Hilgendorf was ordained at Grace Lutheran Church in Perth Amboy, New Jersey in 1979. Pastor Kevin is in the center of the photo. On his right is the Rev. Jack Elstad and on his left the Rev Jack Slotterback.
In the hymn #546 Evangelical Lutheran Worship " To Be Your Presence " the fourth verse states,"We are your heart, O Christ, your hands and voice, to serve your people is our call and choice, and in this mission we, the church, rejoice, alleluia!"
Congratulations, Pastor Kevin. We are blessed to have you serving our congregation!
