St. John Evangelical Lutheran Church extended a helping hand to our neighbors who hosted a monthly Arts and Crafts Fair event during the summer, which will continue into fall. St. John church provided free parking and ice cold water to those attending and free grilled hot dogs served daily for lunchtime.
The event, featuring a variety of displays, took place at the corner of Fillmore Street and 48th Avenue in Allendale. It is estimated that just under 100 vendors set up displays selling their creations. St. John provided served well over 500 hot dogs during most of the events and just as many bottles of water. Thank you who stopped by for your kind words and smiling faces! One final weekend event is planned for November 7-8. |

Meet Our Pastor Marin Cerchez
Our pastor, Marin Cerchez, grew up in Eastern Europe when Christianity was persecuted. If you had a Bible in your possession, you'd get three years in prison. He was an atheist, a medical doctor, and a university professor. About 20 years ago, the Holy Spirit called and enlightened him. Since then, he has been passionate about Jesus, evangelism, and apologetics. To learn more, read Reverend Cerchez' biography.
