Welcome Statement

St. John's is a rural church that offers a traditional Lutheran worship service on Sunday mornings. As we live in the power and resurrection of our crucified and risen Lord, we know in whom we put our trust as we come and go on the roads of life.

We invite you to St. John's where you will experience the love, forgiveness, and hope that we find in Jesus Christ. All are welcome at St. John's - a place where we, "know Christ, love Christ and serve Christ.

Worship Services:

October 5th:

The gospel on this coming Sunday speaks of how surprising it would be if a master served his slaves their evening meal. Yet this is exactly what happens each Sunday when Christ serves us at his table of mercy. Come to worship, and strengthen your faith in the power of this surprising food.

October 12th:

This coming Sunday the gospel reading is Jesus healing ten people of leprosy. Come to worship; join with these ancient people to pray for God’s mercy; and in Christ join with the community of faith to be healed.

October 19th:

In the gospel for this coming Sunday, a widow so pesters an unjust judge that finally she gets the justice she seeks. We know in our world people like this widow who must plead and beg for justice. Come to worship, and join the assembly to pray to God for justice in the world.

October 26th:

The gospel reading for this coming Sunday is the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. Come to worship, to see which one of these characters is more like you, and join the assembly in the meal of forgiveness.

Our Location

St. John's is located off Interstate 90 at Exit 189 between Austin and Rochester, Minnesota. For many travelers on Interstate 90, we are known as the church with the lighted cross. This cross becomes a beacon for those who travel the road on a regular basis. We often hear, "when we see the lighted cross, we know where we are, or we know we are almost home."
