our children and youth. On Monday,
Pastor and his son Matthew took John
out kayaking on the Mississippi River
before bringing him back to Cedar
Rapids to catch his flight back to
Washington State.
On Sunday, May 31st, at a specially
called church council meeting, the
church council voted unanimously to
hire John Vickery as the Director of
Children, Youth & Family Ministries
here at St. John’s.
John was one of several good potential
candidates that were interviewed by the
church council over the past couple of
months.
John initially interviewed
with the council via internet
videoconference back on April 27th
and then flew to Iowa from his home
state of Washington for the follow-up
interview over May 29th-June 1st.
While he was here, John had the
opportunity to get a taste of all that our
community and Northeastern Iowa has
to offer. On Saturday, after breakfast at
Rausch’s with Pastor and some of the
council members, John was given a
tour of the city of Guttenberg, the
Clayton Ridge Schools and the
hospital. Following the tour, Dr. Jeff
Hoffmann graciously volunteered to
take John up to Pike’s Peak to spend
the rest of the afternoon hiking. On
Sunday, John worshiped with us (you
might remember him, he was the tall
guy), followed by a second formal
interview with the church council.
That evening at a barbecue potluck
hosted by by Chad and Kari Harbaugh,
John got to meet the spouses and
families of the council members as
well as interact with about a dozen of

John was born and raised in Lake
Stevens, Washington, about an hour
outside of Seattle. John is the oldest of
four children and the only son born to
John and Beth Vickery. His eldest
sister is a freshman at college, and his
two younger twin sisters are seniors at
Lake Stevens High School.
John has experience working with
children and youth in both
congregational and summer camp
settings. He currently works at Christ
Lutheran Church, Ferndale, WA as the
Contemporary Music Director and
Assistant to the Youth Minister, as well
as working at Lutherwood Camp and
Retreat Center, Bellingham, WA. as
High School Camp Counselor, Youth
Group Assistant, Challenge Course
Coordinator, Worship Leader, and
Lifeguard.
John comes from a very musical family
and has played guitar in church praise
teams for over eight years. When not
playing guitar, he loves rocks climbing
and swimming. John lettered all four
years in swimming while in high
school, even making District
Preliminaries in both his junior and
senior years.
John’s installation service will
take place on Sunday, August
2nd at the 9:15am service at
St. John’s. Please plan on
attending this very special
day and help make John feel
welcome as he makes
Guttenberg and Iowa his new
home.

John’s on June 28th.
ADOPT A DAY
How would you like to consider adopting a day(s) and paying for St. John’s church utilities for that day(s)?
This would be above your regular church giving and would be a huge financial plus for St. John’s. You choose
the day(s). Why not consider adopting a day for your birthday or that of a family member, or an anniversary of
your baptism, wedding or all of them and more? If you would like to adopt a day just write your information on a
piece of paper and enclose it with your payment of $38 per day.
On May 30th we welcomed into our family of faith through baptism, Brayden Paul Niesman, son of Anson &
Stacey (Voshell) Niesman. Brayden’s baptismal sponsors are Audrey Niehaus & Ronny Niehaus.

FROM STEWARDSHIP:
Enjoy The Convenience Of Electronic Giving
St. John’s wants to remind you that we offer
electronic giving as a way to automate your regular
weekly offering. Electronic giving offers convenience
for individual congregation members and provides
much-needed donation consistency for our
congregation.
Direct Debit Giving is used to
automatically transfer funds from your checking or
savings account to the church’s bank account. Credit
& Debit Card Giving allows you to make offerings
automatically on a pre-determined schedule using a
credit or debit card. Online Giving allows you to go
to www.stjohnsguttenberg.com at any time to set up
an automatic donation plan, change your donation
plan, make a one-time donation or view your online
donation history. As you contemplate future
contributions, please consider electronic giving.

Sunday School
2014-2015
Last fall our Sunday School students decided to use their offering to help families around the world
become more self-sufficient. During the 1st semester they collected enough to purchase 3 honey bee
hives, 2 goats, 2 pigs and a bicycle ambulance. Their second semester goal was to purchase a family
farm and they did just that. A farm includes a cow, a couple of goats, a dozen chicks, two pigs, and
farming tools, plus agricultural training and marketing support. This donation can help a family achieve a
fresh start. With new tools and techniques, crops will grow bigger and stronger than ever before. Eggs, milk
and meat from farm animals will provide enough food to eat and sell on the market, helping a family escape
the cycle of hunger and poverty — for good. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR YOUTH ON A JOB
WELL DONE!

JULY “ONE MINUTE” FUNDRAISER
In lieu of an Ice Cream Social the Women of the church will once again have
the “one minute” fundraiser. We understand everyone’s schedules are
extremely busy during the summer months-this involves no cooking, baking,
dirty dishes, or making room on a busy schedule for another event. New this
year-you will find the “One Minute” fundraiser envelope in the box with
your offering envelopes. You may also use the general giving envelopes in
the pews and mark “One Minute” Fundraiser on the front. Monetary
donations will be credited to your giving record. (If possible, please turn
donations in by July 26th) Thank you in advance from your St. John’s

Linda Akers attends Tri-Synodical Gathering
The Tri-Synodical WELCA Gathering was held at Iowa Central Community
College in Fort Dodge, IA. Women from Western, Northeastern and Southeastern
Synods attended the 2-day event on June 19-20. Lynda Akers attended the events
on Friday beginning with worship and communion. Offering recipient was
Lutheran Disaster Response. Keynote speaker, Rev. Wyvetta
Bullock, spoke about who inspired our faith when we were
young and who we inspire keeping with the theme
“Generations of Faith”. Rev. Bullock is the Assistant to the
presiding Bishop, Elizabeth Eaton. 38 women attended
from our synod (Northeastern Iowa Synodical Women’s
Organization). We had our synod’s business meeting in one
the class rooms on campus. We voted for President,
Secretary and 4 Board Members. Three resolutions were
submitted this year. 1. Decrease the use of paper by
encouraging electronic communication. 2. Promote the use of
GATHER Magazine as now there are shorter Bible Studies and the magazine has
won national awards in excellence. 3. Form a committee to help inform and
educate congregations and communities in awareness and prevention of human
trafficking. The day ended with dinner at the Triton Café.
