The Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost – August 4, 2024
THANKS FOR GRACE…
Summer Time Travel
Thanks be to God for the blessing of time for renewal through vacation and continuing education. Pastor Shannon is very thankful for the opportunity he has had earlier this summer to attend a Theology and Peace conference in Chicago and the Wild Goose Festival in Union Grove NC. Deacon Katie is grateful for an opportunity to have a week of comp time and vacation after a very busy June and July filled with youth activities. Pastor Craig & Georgia are heading out for a trip to Colorado and to be with Georgia’s father for the celebration of his 100th birthday. Wow!
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.
