About this church

St. John Lutheran Church in Russell, Kansas, holds three worship services each week. Saturday worship at 6:00 p.m. is held in the chapel and is an informal service with hymns, prayers, and a message. On Sundays, the sanctuary hosts an 8:15 a.m. service, a simpler version of the traditional service with limited liturgy and hymns, and a 10:30 a.m. traditional service with liturgy, hymns, prayers, a message, children's moments, and special music.
