Bishop's Challenge
St. John Lutheran participated in the 2022 Bishop's Challenge. In addition to a generous donation of support, our WELCA women created a quilt square for the Synod Quilt.The quilt represents our commitment to growing in awareness and moving toward action in Christian love. If you look closely at the completed quilt, you will see St. John's square in the upper right hand corner.
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!
