Join us in the Parish Hall to celebrate the Liturgy in a casual and and kid-friendly alternative to the formal service in the church. The monthly Family Service is a great venue to introduce our youngest children to Episcopal lessons and traditions in a more relaxed environment. We will not have Sunday School as all are welcomed and encouraged to attend the Service instead. If your child is interested in participating in one of our upcoming Family Services, please contact Whitney Wolf at wwolf@104.237.132.142 .

St. John’s Fathers Ministry Service Project
Sunday, October 16
Join the Fathers Ministry on October 16 in the Parish Hall for their Holiday Letters for Heroes party! Parish children will be using their creativity to write thank you letters to service members deployed overseas over the holidays.
Grown-ups can write a letter too! We will have patriotic crafts and puzzles, and will even be making Veterans Day wreaths to take home! A drop box for letters will also be set up the week of the event. Let’s show these heroes our appreciation for their sacrifice and service.
