Happening at St. John's
LSG Circle of Welcome: Lutheran Services of Georgia and St. John's Outreach are preparing for a NEW pilot program with the national Lutheran Immigrant and Refugee Services in which St. John's will enter into a companion relationship with one specific refugee family. The program, called "Circle of Welcome," allows us to walk along with the family during the first year of their stay in the United States. Beginning at 90 days after arrival, volunteers from the congregation will help the family learn more about their community, and may be asked to provide support with conversational English, homework help for school-aged children, or financial and computer literacy. Volunteers may also furnish occasional help with transportation needs. Church council has voted to provide financial support for the program as well. Volunteers will be asked to commit to 2-3 hours one or two times a month, and will be given training. If you are interested in learning more about the program, please contact our Outreach team.
Reformation Exhibit at Pitts Library: Pitts Theology Library is exploring Luther's Theses with the exhibit The Image of a Fractured Church: Martin Luther and the 95 Theses. Curated by our own Dr. Armin Siedlecki, the exhibit presents the context of Martin Luther's Theses, the role of indulgences in sixteenth century religious life and the use of disputations in theological education. Shown also are the early responses to Luther's Theses by both his supporters and his opponents, the impact of Luther's Reformation, including depictions of the posting of the Ninety-Five Theses in later Protestant traditions, as well as current attempts by Catholics and Protestants to find common ground.
Construction Update: Much needed restoration of our property continues with work on mortar and flashing. Construction will be going on around both the mansion and sanctuary to address water incursion issues. Pardon our mess and please watch out for scaffolding and work zones!
