St. John Nottingham Lutheran Church is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. A congregation is a group of people, not a building. Our congregation invites you to visit, to learn, to join, to get involved. We all have talents given to us by God and there are many ways to contribute to the congregation and help spread the good news of our salvation through God's love for us. This page will suggest ways for you to get involved at St. John.
* The men's and women's fellowship breakfasts are held once a month for Bible study and fellowship. Join in - get involved!
* There are many ways to get involved with and support our school. Check the school support page or call the school office for details.
* Weekly labor is needed to help maintain the grounds of our campus mainly from Spring into Fall. If you have time once a week to help cut grass and generally maintain the outdoor areas, we could use your help!

If you are able to help even a couple of hours a week at any of these places or if you would like further information, please contact the church office at 216-531-1156.

Come to find out what interesting things are being done at St. John, what important issues are facing the congregation, updates on the business and budget status of the congregation, and vote on any matters needing congregational approval.
* The Board of Directors and School Board operate the church and school and meet monthly for updates and to handle current issues. Positions are regularly open for appointment by the boards or election to the boards. Contact the church office to see if there are any vacancies. Voters elect half of the Board of Directors each year in November.

7 You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. Don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully. 8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 9 As the Scriptures say, "Godly people give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will never be forgotten." 2 Corinthians 9:7-9 (NLT)
