St. John on the Mountain

Upcoming Events

New Sound System

We have a brand new sound system at church. It is a truly amazing piece of technology that was given to us by Sandy and Joan Millspaugh, and we are thrilled to have this tool for our worship. The quality of sound is remarkable! There will be a basket of six headsets that are offered to those who are hearing-impaired. They are simple and sturdy devices that have individual volume control. If you want to use a headset, ask an usher, or take one from the basket in the narthex.
