Voters’ Meeting January 19th

A Voters’ Meeting will be held Sunday, January 19th, immediately following the 10:45 service for the purpose of issuing a Call for Senior Pastor. A previous email was sent with some basic background on the two candidates that will be presented. Additional information, including that provided by the Indiana District and a summary from each candidate’s conversation with the Call Committee, will be available in the church and school office during regular business hours (8:00am-4pm) or by appointment. Please make plans to attend this meeting and keep our congregation in your prayers as we seek the Lord’s guidance for our next Senior Pastor.

MyStJohn

The new year is a perfect time to check in to mystjohn, our online member directory and database. Please make sure contact information and family details are correct, as well as take the opportunity to update photos. This helps our office keep accurate records and connects our members, groups, and community. You can access it HERE or through the St. John app. You can also call the church office.

Friday Night Fitness

Friday Night Fitness is back! Start the new year off right and join us Friday, January 3rd for a Zumba-style fitness class to burn off some holiday calories and enjoy fellowship with your St. John community! All are welcome!

Great News!
