Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost -August 30, 2026
THANKS BE TO GOD…
Groups Using Our Space
Thanks be to God for the many groups that use our space on a weekly basis. We are thankful that many groups have found a home at St. John’s for their meetings. Many of these groups have supported St John’s by cleaning the carpets in the Mission Building and by caring for the Memorial Garden. We serve and help our neighbors, community, and those who are in need.
We love, care for, nourish, and support one another. We are boldly generous with time, talents, space, and resources.
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. All are welcome and valued, with no exceptions.
