One-liner for the week:

"God doesn't grade on the curve; He grades on the cross."

Children's Bible School will be held Friday, April 11th in the undercroft from 6:00 - 7:30 PM and is offered to children age 3 (potty trained) to 8 years old. A special Lenten and Easter program has been prepared for this month so please be sure to join us!

Lenten Devotionals - Our Worship Committee has been working hard on producing some YouTube videos "starring" several of our own parishioners! Click here to view the full playlist of our Lenten YouTube Devotionals.

Arts & Environment Committee Lenten Decorating Schedule:

We need YOUR help in decorating for Holy Week and Easter Sunday. It takes "a village" to transform our St. John Church into the beautiful worship space it's meant to be - but it can only happen with your help. Men, women and children are all welcome to come any/or all of the following times (even for an hour or two):

Wednesday, April 16 at 2:00 PM (for Holy Thursday)
Thursday, April 17 morning - to setup stations for "washing of the feet." Following Mass that evening, we will setup for Good Friday services.
Friday, April 18 after Good Friday services (about 8:30 PM) - decorate for the Easter Vigil. We need several "strong" men for setup.
Saturday, April 19 morning - continue setup for the evening; move specified items to John L. Hill Chapel for Easter Sunday.
Sunday, April 20 at 7:00 AM - meet at St. John Church to move remaining items to Chapel for Mass. AFTER Easter Mass, we need help moving items BACK to St. John Church for Mass.

Please contact Susan Craft at 502-863-2046, email scraft089@yahoo.com or the parish office if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you there!
