St. John Lutheran Church, ELCA

The entire community is invited to gather on Easter Sunday for an exciting, life giving, high energy worship experience that conforms to social distancing guidelines. Worshippers will drive onto the Gage County Fairgrounds - 1000 West Scott Street, Beatrice, Nebraska - park in clearly marked rows and tune in their car radios to the short range FM radio station we will identify.  For those staying at home you will be able to tune in to KWBE 1450AM to also hear the service live. Facebook LIVE will be available at 8:50 AM.

The service will consist of Easter acclamations, scripture, songs, preaching, and horn honking.  There will be high energy music to celebrate this most important day. The service is intended to cross all denominational lines.  All are welcome!

“In the midst of tragedy, fear, illness and despair, we as a community of faith are called to gather and to proclaim the promise of hope given to us at Easter.  Now is the time we must come together and be community,” says Pastor Ernesto Medina from St John Lutheran Church in Beatrice.

Important Additional Notes:

• Since we will be unable to provide restrooms during the event, please use those services before leaving your home.
• Given the current Nebraska Health Directives, all guests are asked to stay in their vehicle while on fairground property.
• Directions will be posted and available via a short range FM radio as guests arrive at the Fairgrounds.
