St John Lutheran Church
Fourth Sunday of Easter
April 26 - May 3, 2026
Weekly Announcements
Stewardship Notes: 1 Peter 2:21 – “For this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might following his steps.” Our heavenly Father wants us to grow into the image of His Son and to follow in His steps. Jesus suffered for us not only to redeem us, but also to show us what love looks like and to leave us an example of self-giving, sacrificial generosity. “Let us ever walk with Jesus, follow His example pure.”
