Welcome!

In an attempt to help people be aware of our presence in Aylmer and all over, this is one way to have a "web presence" as it were. With that in mind, welcome to St. John's in Aylmer!

We are a small Evangelical Lutheran congregation formed in 1947 and still going. Originally formed from Lutheran families of Lithuanian German descent and later joined by new arrivals from the German settlements in Transylvania (Siebenburgen), the congregation is now made up of people of all ages and backgrounds. It's good that way.

We worship on Sundays at 10:30 am, celebrating Holy Communion on the first and third Sunday and festivals. Sunday School for young folks is held at the same time.

Preparations are in place for the celebration of Christmas, the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Services will be held on Christmas Eve, Saturday, December 24th with a "Family Service" at 6:30pm (including Holy Communion) and a more traditional service of Holy Communion at 8:00pm. On Christmas Day, Sunday, December 25th, there will be a 'quieter' celebration on Holy Communion at 10:30am. Everyone is invited, but you, dear reader, are especially welcome.
