Church School News:

This Sunday, April 12, will be a Children’s Service with the children of St. John’s performing many of the roles typically done by adults.  We will not have Sunday School.  And, the children will also host Coffee Hour!  Child care is available for younger children. If you are interested in having your child(ren) attend Sunday School, willing to volunteer or have ideas about the program, please contact Jennifer Morgan at jmmorgan321@aol.com

Coffee Hour Sign-Up Sheet for April – June is now posted on the Parish Office door.  Please take the time to sign up – we have many Sundays available!  Participating in this fun part of fellowship at St. John’s is easier than you think!  If you are interested in hosting one, there are plenty of veteran coffee hour providers who can guide you and answer your questions. Thank you!
