A warm welcome to each and every one of you! We are pleased you have visited our website. Sunday we begin the journey to the cross this SEVENTH SUNDAY IN EASTER. This time of special worship on the Seventh Sunday after Jesus' Resurrection makes us even more eager to share the Good News. If you visit us on Sunday, please do us the honor of signing the guest book in the lobby. If you are looking for a church home, we invite you to consider our family of faith here at St. John’s.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL SUMMERY SUNDAY SCHOOL Summer Sunday School is just around the corner, June 2nd. Last year was such a success, we thought that we would ask for your help again this year. It is simple: (1) Sign your name next to a date on the sign-up sheet in the vestibule. (2) Choose a topic, and an activity and write it next to your name. This could be a story and a craft, singing, game, be creative! (3) Show up on that date in Sunday School chapel with material for about 15 children. If you have questions or need help with material phone Robin Skelding at 748 or Barb Hoffman at 859-8871.
