Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Stewardship Committee table in the narthex over the past few weeks to ask questions about our Electronic Giving program and to take application forms. Please return your completed forms along with a voided check or pre-printed savings account deposit slip to me, Bob Gehrke (Treasurer of the Congregation), or to the church office.
Again, thank you! Together in Service, Adam Ferguson - Stewardship Committee Chairman"

New Church Directory!
The Board of Elders has decided to work with Lifetouch to publish a new church directory for our church. This is an excellent opportunity for us all to put names and faces together as we welcome new members including our new pastor.
Our next step is to schedule dates for Lifetouch photographers to come to St. John to take family portraits. The earliest timeslots for them look to be in November. Families will be entitled to sit for the portrait, receive a single copy of the directory, and an 8 x 10 photo all for free! And if you are unable to make any of the appointments once the dates are established, there will be alternate opportunities to get a photo included in the directory.
Wayne Kolzow and Craig Peterson are launching the project and will be hoping to involve anyone who would like to help in the process. Additional details will be provided as the project matures. Start planning your wardrobe for a great photo session!

Christian Senior Ministries is holding its 16th Annual Christian Senior Ministries “Walk for Seniors” at Walcamp, Kingston, IL. on Sunday, September 29th at 1:30 p.m. The event was renamed “The Rev. Harold W. Schmidt Walk for seniors” in recognition and honor of Pastor Schmidt who faithfully served Trinity Lutheran Church, Genoa, and was actively involved with Christian Senior Ministries for several years and was instrumental in developing this annual fund raising event. Christian Senior Ministries will provide refreshments and a light snack as well as bingo and a brief presentation. The “Walk for Seniors” is the primary fund raising effort of Christian Senior Ministries outside of direct support from our supporting congregations.
