Way to Go, St. John!

At the 2024 Eastern North Dakota Synod Assembly this past June, St. John received two special awards!

Our St. John congregation received the Care of Creation Award–for honoring, treasuring, and stewarding Gods creation through worship, education, fellowship, and service. This is the first time our synod has recognized a congregation for Care for Creation. If you helped plan or participated in one of our Care for Creation/NRG events, supported our congregation through your giving, and especially if you prayed for God’s Creation, then you helped us achieve this recognition. But, of course, much work remains. One invaluable action we can do as a congregation is to encourage our neighbor congregations to be more active in Care for Creation.

St. John also received The Fresh Loaf of Thanks award for supporting ELCA World Hunger in 2023 with a donation of $26 per baptized member.
