2025-2026 Church School Opening Day Khunjook - Sunday, September 7

Dear Families With Children Interested in Attending Church School on Sundays

Our St. John Church School team is preparing for fall enrollment, and Sunday school classes.

We are hoping you will enroll your children and allow us to join with you in providing Christian education services during the school year. We meet on Sundays from 10:15 AM to 12 noon.

Our first day is September 7, 2025. During class-time students receive lessons that are age,

and developmentally appropriate for their grade. We utilize the diocese curriculum which can

be found by clicking the button below:

Once again this year, there is no cost to attend. We simply ask that you register using the attached link, and bring your child(ren) to church! The attached link is for NEW children only! Returning families will receive a prefilled registration form to update in their email. Any questions, please reach out to the church office and someone will return your call. The new family/children registration form is to be completed and submit below by clicing on the button below.

Why Should We Become Stewards?

• To have a church for prayer and educational, cultural, and spiritual growth
• To meet our parishioners' needs
• To maintain our facilities
• To ensure our church for generations
• To support all of the wonderful programs and ministries listed in this bulletin
• To have a voice in electing our church leaders

Your annual stewardship commitment will help sustain our parish and contribute towards its growth. If you like what St. John's does in our community, and want to ensure that future generations of our families will always have a place of worship to call their home in the years ahead, please support us by becoming a Steward.

If you have questions or are unsure of your stewardship status, please call the church office at 248-569-3405. Thank you!

An Appeal for Our Armenian American Veterans' Building

Since 1963, the Armenian American Veterans' Building has housed the many needs and interests of our community, from bridge classes to basketball games, Senior Lunch to ACYOA meetings, and even as a temporary sanctuary during our recent church renovations. Today, this community gem that has given us so much needs our help.

St. John needs you to join the crowd and support the Armenian American Veterans' Building renovation project, giving for the future to honor our past.
