1.
St. John / San Juan / Immanuel Hmong
new digital sign is about ready for submission and should be installed in March

2.
Much time was spent discussing the many major
repairs and projects necessary on our aging property. A crisis was avoiding
when repairs were made in the boiler room.
3.
New appliances have been installed in the
parsonage kitchen; again, badly needed.
4.
Our sermons are being livestreamed on our
Facebook page for those who cannot attend worship in person.

With Pastor Hennig taking his call, Jenny Otto
has been asked to take over his wife, Karen’s, work in New Day ministry. She,
along with Pastor, will be running the program along with our volunteers. (See

athletic field,
St. John members are invited to
participate. A sign-up sheet is provided for those interested.
