THANKS FOR GRACE…
Teachers and Students
Thanks be to God for all who teach and who are students. We ask God’s blessing upon all from our congregation and community who are beginning a new school year, no matter their age or school!
Welcome Visitors
If you are a visitor to St. John’s this morning, welcome! Please let us know who you are by signing the fellowship book found on each row of chairs.
In the Narthex, we have a St. John’s coffee mug with information about us that we would love for you to take home. Thanks for worshipping with us today!
