Our 2027 Stewardship Campaign

Plenty Good Room is our stewardship theme this year, inviting us to look at our lives—and at the life of St. John’s—through the lens of God’s abundance.


We invite you to prayerfully consider your pledge for 2027. St. John's goal is 100% participation. We are asking every household to participate by making a pledge of any size. Each pledge matters from all who call St. John's their church home.


Pledges can be made online, by hand delivery, or by mail. Thank you for your gifts of time, talent, and treasure supporting St. John's now and in the future!

Stewardship Sunday on November 1st celebrates the successful completion of our stewardship campaign. Pledge cards can be brought to church and placed in the alms basin, and we'll celebrate with a catered lunch after the 10:30 am service.


It's also All Saints Sunday, when we'll remember those who have died in the last year (since November 1, 2025). If you would like to include someone in this year's Roll of Remembrance, please email or ( 256-353-9615) the church office by October 28.

Congratulations Hennessy Family!

Help with Weekend Backpacks

The Backpack Ministry needs some help!


Each week, the people of St. John's purchase, pack, and deliver take-home bags of groceries to help alleviate weekend food insecurity for children in need. This is a weekly ministry with small time commitments and flexible schedules for each step. Take a look at the sign-up to see where you can lend a hand. Many spots for October are open!


Learn more and sign up by going to https://bit.ly/fall26backpack. Thank you!
