2010 MEMORY BOOK

NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE

Please see Melodye Dorst if you are interested.  She has 100 copies available for sale at $25.00 each.

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!
