Parenting Kids with ADHD on Monday, May 19, 6:30-8:00pm at St. John’s.

As a church, we can work to recognize the unique challenges parents of children with ADHD have, and help these families craft the best environment possible for their children. Our children’s ministries have recently made wiggle cushions available during BASIC and Faith Corps/Soul Troop, and several members of the congregation have pulled together a panel. The panel hopes to provide valuable information and help connect families with resources they need.

For more information please look throught the May Vision Notes.

We all have our own to-do lists as the seasons change. Maybe you need to clean the gutters or even your closets. But there are also to-do lists of our community that always seem to get longer and longer. On Sunday, May 4, St John’s will gather to start checking those items off the list. We will serve the schools, Care Closet, and several other. Clear your schedule from 10am-12pm.

Holy Week tells the powerful and poignant story that is at the center of Christian life and faith. Christians around the world focus hearts and minds on the powerful story of the betrayal, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In particular, Maundy Thursday evening through Easter evening know throughout the Christion church as the Great Three Days of Easter (Triduum is Latin for three days). These three days focus intensely on Christ’s passage from death to life.

This annual celebration had become a three-day observance by the fourth century. Worship during Holy Week is best approached as one continuous service. You are invited to remember and witness the entire story.

Come for a service of healing and hope on Saturday, April 5th following the 5pm worship service.

On Saturday, March 15, St. John’s is connecting over puzzles. Stay after worship for a “piece” of pizza and “piece” together a 500-piece puzzle. The tournament will gather teams of four to grab their “piece” of the prize. Don’t have a team? Your team will be “pieced” together on the 15th! The first team to complete their puzzle is the winner. If you would rather skip supper at the church building and warm-up your puzzling fingers, then arrive at 6:30pm for instructions and the tournament start. Maybe you have puzzled at the cabin for years. Maybe you just got into puzzles during the pandemic. And maybe you haven’t ever puzzled in your life. You are ALL invited and welcome to this FUN event. You are the piece to the puzzle!
