This week at St. John
July 19
The parable for this Sunday is about a field in which both wheat and weeds are growing—which is a way to describe the church, the world, and even ourselves. Come to worship, so that hearing the word and eating the supper of the Lord can nourish your “wheat” and stifle your “weeds.”
Don't forget to join us next Sunday, July 26th, at 9 AM for Intergenerational Sunday School and donuts.
Bibles and Blooms
Join Heidi Price at Linden Fields Flower Farm (1760 W Linden Rd, Beatrice) for four Wednesdays for a Bible study in the peaceful and beautiful setting of nature. Heidi will be using the Summer Days Bible study from SaltProject. Step by step, we’ll make our way deep into the heart of summer, the heart of sabbath (rest), and the heart of being human: joyful, rested, and free. Please bring a lawn chair.
Suggested donation of $10 for materials - please make a note of “Summer Bible Study” in the memo if paying by check or online.
U-Pick flowers from Linden Fields will be available at each session for purchase.
