Join us Sunday (Feb. 26) for our Transfiguration Sunday Drama! For almost 20 years Pastor Newhart has been performing what he calls “Portrayals”. They are first person enacted portrayals of a variety of biblical, as well as historical, characters. He performs these characters in costume and make up to give an authentic appearance. Pastor Newhart will generously be sharing one of his “Portrayals” at both the 8 and 10:30 a.m. services. He will be portraying Peter. Looking forward to hearing your feedback as we look to incorporate portrayals in our Sunday worship schedule.

• One worship service at 9:15 a.m. in sanctuary.

The 2016 Confirmation Class of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Emmaus, will affirm their baptismal covenant in worship on Sunday, May 15, 2016, the Day of Pentecost. There will be one service that day, a Festival Holy Communion at 9:15 a.m. in the sanctuary. Immediately after the service we will adjourn to the parish hall for a celebration of the Class of 2016 and a time of recognition for members celebrating significant anniversaries of their Confirmations. Everyone is welcome to both the service and the reception. The reception will be a luncheon with the recognition of anniversaries and of the Class of 2016 held during the meal.
