All Are Welcome!
March 6th & 7th
This Sunday’s Lenten readings—the ten commandments, Paul’s discussion of the foolishness of the cross, and the story of Jesus cleansing the temple—provide an occasion to think about the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. For Christians, Christ is always in the center of the conversation.
Wednesday Lenten Services
6 PM
Through the season of Lent we are invited to take on three great disciplines: prayer, fasting, and alms-giving. Jesus’ words remind us that our acts of faithfulness always come as a response to God’s gifts. Remembering this gives a note of humility to all we do. We know grace only because Jesus becomes our sin. This is the grounding for everything we do throughout the holy days of Lent.
Sharing God’s Love & Light through
St. John is offering the opportunity to be connected with another church family or member of a different generation.
We invite you to share family stories and learn more about each other as siblings in Christ.
Sign up outside the office or contact Heidi via phone or email.

You can make the video yourself or we can schedule a time for you to come in and we will help you!
