Celebrating 125 Years of Ministry!
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 3:11
It is humbling to think that St John’s, Mohnton has served our community and proclaimed the Gospel for 125 years! We celebrate the date our congregation became an official entity this year, but many of you might not know that our remarkable journey began on November 19, 1899. On that historic day, the first service was held at Mosser and Westley Hall, located at 30 E. Wyomissing St. This humble beginning marked the start of a legacy of faith, community, and service that has endured for over a century.
The foundation of our church was laid with the dedication and vision of the Ladies Aid Society, who purchased the property for the church for the sum of $200. I find it inspirational that the women of our congregation literally paved the way for the growth and development of St Johns and their spirit of service continues to inspire us today.
Over the past 125 years, St. John's has been a beacon of hope and a place of worship for countless individuals and families. Our church has witnessed generations of bap- tisms, weddings, and confirmations, and has provided comfort and support during times of joy and sorrow.
As we look to the future, we are reminded of the importance of our mission to serve God and our community. We are committed to continuing the work of those who came before us, and to ensuring that St. John's remains a place where faith is nurtured, and love is shared
We invite you to join us in celebrating this momentous occasion and to reflect on the rich history and bright future of our church on September 21, 2025 at 10am. Together, we will continue to build on the foundation laid by our founders and to carry forward the legacy of St. John's Lutheran for generations to come.
With love and gratitude,
Pastor Jess
