Planning a Baptism?
If you have scheduled a baptism, please plan to attend one of Pastor's
Baptism classes. This class is in addition to a home visit.
Please speak to Pastor Noack if you have any questions.
Planning a Wedding?
Normally, before a family grows and prepares for a Baptism, there is the
blessed event of the Wedding. If you have recently been engaged -
congratulations! Don't forget that contacting the Church and making
arrangements is just as important as all the other trappings of the day.
It would be a shame to have the reception lined up and find out that the
church was not available! Also, pre-marital pastoral care is part of
preparation for marriage at Saint John's. You and your fiancé‚ should
plan on meeting with the pastor 4-6 times during the
wedding planning process. Call the church office (589-3202) as soon as possible.
