Please take the opportunity to follow the link below to keep up with LCMS efforts to provide relief in Joplin, MO.

As an aside, St. John’s has a direct connection to Immanuel Lutheran in Joplin, which sustained heavy damage.  Pastor Greg Mech is the brother of our member, Kathleen Wambold.

Please keep the members of Immanuel, Pastor Mech, and all those who are recovering in your steadfast prayers.  When it comes time to rebuild, I am thinking of putting together a “crew” to go there and pound nails and turn screws.  Anyone interested?

Blessings,

Pastor T.
