Bible Class:
This morning we are beginning a two-part Bible Class titled “Angels & Demons”. Adults, teens, and confirmands are encouraged to come, learn, and ask questions. This class will take place in the multi-purpose room. Grab some coffee and treats after the Divine Service and join us!

Pastoral Contacts:
You will find phone numbers for Pastor Mumme and Pastor Metzger listed in our bulletins weekly. Contact them via our church phone or their mobile phones during office hours. As they have families and value that time (as you do!), please refrain from non-emergency calls in the evening. Text or email as needed. For emergencies, they are available 24 hours a day and happy to offer pastoral care to Christ’s flock here at Saint John!

PICTORIAL DIRECTORY UPDATE!
Lifetouch photographers will be here in two weeks. Half of our time slots are filled so sign up soon to reserve your appointment time. Online sign-up is available via the Directory link on the church website. Package options and prices may also be viewed online. Volunteers will continue to be available each Sunday in the narthex to offer sign-up assistance. We're still in need of volunteers! Anyone who can offer a few hours of time, especially during the photography week, PLEASE sign up at the table in the
narthex or contact:

Adult Catechesis:
Want to learn more about Jesus? About God’s Word and will? About what it all means for you? We will begin a new round of adult catechesis (instruction in the Christian faith) later this month. This class is open to newcomers seeking membership, lifelong Lutherans, and everyone in between. Pre-register by contacting Christina in the church office by October 15 so we can order the class materials. The day and time will be set once we know who wants to participate. Together let us grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Life & Liberty Conference:
The NID Life Task Force is hosting a Life & Liberty Conference at Bethany Lutheran Church in Naperville on Friday, November 1 (9:00am-2:00pm). This conference will feature the Rev. Dr. Peter Scaer, professor at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, who will speak on current life issues and the Christian’s response in the public square. The cost is $10 per person and includes lunch. Registration forms are located at the Sign-Up Center in the narthex. Let Pastor Mumme if you plan to attend; we will try to arrange
ridesharing for those interested.
