REMINDER ABOUT COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS

St. John's is complying with CDC recommendations to avoid gatherings up until the projected date of May 9th. Please stay home and stay safe! Daily Devotionals and a daily prayer list are being sent to all on our email list, and we will be gathering as a church family each Sunday for online worship. The service will be posted on the front page of our website ( StJohnsIvyland.com) Sunday mornings. I hope you will join us this week as we celebrate Easter Sunday.

Please consider mailing your tithes and offerings (820 Almshouse Rd., Ivyland 18974), or donate via our website or text giving (877-960-2396). Although we are forced to be on a hiatus from worship right now, our expenses are not on hiatus. Thank you for your generosity.

BIBLE STUDY via "Zoom"

MONDAYS 10 AM

April 6th - April 27th

in the comfort of your own home!

(join us at 9:30 to work out any technology glitches and for fellowship time! Bring your own coffee!)

Join me for an interactive 4-week "social distancing" study of 2nd Corinthians!

Let's look together at the ways Christ's power is displayed in hard times, and how our faith sustains us through difficult and dangerous times.

It's easy! Let me know by email ( [email protected]) that you'll be joining us and I'll send you an invitation to our Zoom meeting. All you'll need is a camera-enabled computer or tablet (a smartphone would work too) - you'll be asked to enable audio on your device.

P.S. Yes, we can see and hear each other! No pajamas!
