Life is a journey. We travel that journey with God and in community with each other. A deep and strong faith seldom happens overnight. Every day is a day to learn and grow. We find that prayer, Bible study, and conversation with others are great tools to deepen faith.
Sunday School
At 9:30 on Sunday mornings Sunday School classes meet. Four year olds through 6th graders meet in a one room schoolhouse type of setting to learn basic Bible stories, sing, and do projects. 7th and 8th graders usually meet for Confirmation Class. Teenagers and adults meet for the class, “Where We Are Today.” It is a gathering that explores current events, and often hot button issues, from the perspective of faith. We stay respectful, but not everyone agrees all the time!
Bible Studies
Three Bible studies meet every week.
-The Women’s Bible study meets on Tuesdays at 1:00. This group uses topical Bible studies to deepen faith.
-The Men’s Breakfast meets Wednesday mornings starting at 8:30. They spend about a half hour eating and in conversation and then spend a half hour in Bible study.
-The Lyons Church – St. John’s provides support for a Lutheran church in Lyons (also named St. John’s!). One of those supports is a Bible study on Thursday mornings at 10:00am. This group chooses a book of the Bible to study. In the fall of 2026 it will focus on Hebrews. The address of the church is 50 Spencer St., Lyons, NY 14489.
Home Devotions
-Daily devotional booklets are available on the table in the entrance room. Help yourself to one! They give a Bible verse and a short reflection for each day of the year. Many people use them as a way to start the day with faith.
-God Pause – This is a daily devotional created by the Lutheran seminary in Minnesota. It is easy to find online or have it delivered to your email. Learn more about it at:
