Great News!

We have upgraded our streaming provider platform. Sunday services are still streamed through Facebook, but are also available at stjohnindy.org/live. The most recent service can be viewed later on the website, or archives of services will also be available. 

This winter, the Saints on Stage are bringing the beloved Broadway classic to the stage, and you won’t want to miss it! Featuring a talented cast of over 60 students, including many of our own St. John students and alumni, Annie tells the inspiring story of a young orphan whose life is transformed from rags to riches against all odds—teaching us all about hope, resilience, and the power of finding family in unexpected places. Order tickets HERE.

The high school youth group is hosting a “Sweets for the Sweet” bake sale at church this weekend! Come hungry because there are lots of goodies available! We will be accepting cash or card. Available before and after church on Saturday and Sunday after both services.

Service Opportunity

A member of St. John is in need of assistance moving from her home in New Palestine to an assisted living community in Beech Grove. We are hoping to be able to move her on February 15. If you would be able to help, please email Matthew Frick by Tuesday, February 11. Thank you in advance for your compassionate action for one of our own!

Did you know?

If you are a benefit or associate member of Thrivent Financial, you are entitled to two, $250 Thrivent Action Team grants per calendar year. These can be used for fundraisers, educational events, or service projects. St. John utilizes several of these each year for a number of our church and school activities. This is a great way to engage and benefit our community with compassionate action. Plus, it’s very easy to do! To get started please contact Matthew Frick or the church office.
