Volunteers needed for treats

Approximately FIVE dozen treats are needed each

Sunday. Coffee & napkins are provided by St. John.

As precautionary steps for safety and security, we would like to ask all attendees and visitors of St John, to make sure you are locking your vehicles anytime you are inside.

Life can be difficult, but you don't have to go through it alone. Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers who provide one-on-one, confidential, Christ-centered

support during life's challenges. Whether you're

experiencing grief, illness, or another hardship, a

Stephen Minister can walk alongside you with care

and prayer. If you or someone you know could use a

listening ear and spiritual encouragement, contact

Pastor Russ Leeper, Pastor Intern Beth Hurt, or Linda

Johnson.

The Blessing Box is used regularly by our community members, which means we have to restock it frequently. We are currently running very low on items to place in the Blessing Box. Please leave any non-perishable items in the shopping cart in the Narthex, and the rest will be taken care of. Thank you!

Life can be shaky and unpredictable…full of disappointments and worries. Starting in October, Pastor Russ will lead an adult class called, “Unshakable Hope.” This study will unpack the Bible’s most significant promises that help us navigate difficult circumstances and remain focused on the hope we have in the Scriptures. Adult Class will meet Sundays in the Chapel from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m.

We have sign-up sheets at the Welcome Center

for the two events posted below.
