YOUTH SUNDAY IS
MAY 20
TH

Members of the youth of St John’s have formed a drama troupe to pre­sent “The Balloon Party” by Monika Hilder during worship. This is a spe­cial parable about using our spir­it­ual gifts, and everyone in the con­gre­ga­tion will identify with one of the char­ac­ters in the play.  Mr. Advice, Burnout Red, Allergic Green, and Quitter Orange will be joined by many other balloons as the story of the renewal of the bal­loon kingdom comes alive and gives all of us hope for our own spiritual gifts.

Our youth Bell choir – Bells Angels will offer their talents and our youth will participate in leading the worship, including words from our graduating seniors.

A brunch for all EYC youth will be held after the 10:30 a.m. service, to recognize our graduating seniors, at Marker 20.  Please RSVP by calling or .

St. John’s Church is the people who worship here, pray here, learn here, and serve here. There is one more ingredient which underlies it all -- God as revealed in Jesus Christ and experienced by the presence of the Holy Spirit.  It is God who makes us one body and empowers us to be more than we could ever be by ourselves.

The people who are St. John’s change from generation to generation, but one thing never changes: this is a place where God’s people open themselves to His solace and strength, His pardon and renewal.

Come, join us!
