All parents and students of 6th - 12th graders are invited to Rob’s house for an informational, fun, and lip smacking good time. 

We will discuss plans for the semester (including two retreats), play some fun family style games, and enjoy some dinner together.  This is the kickoff not to miss!

The Rewards Store not only gets 50 students excited and motivated, but it has been a great math lesson/shopping experience on the days it is open.

Most popular items include:

Our young saints of St. John's are learning about offerings. All of the children's offerings are going to the Building fund.

Beginning September 1st, we will have an additional Sunday school class. In order to be successful, we need your help. It's fun, easy and fulfilling. Agnes provides everything - the lesson and the supplies. Please consider volunteering.

Acolytes

Acolytes are an important part of the Sunday morning liturgy. They assist at the altar, carry the processional cross, light and extinguish the candles, and assist the priest in other duties dedicated to our worship services. Currently, we have three teenagers who faithfully serve as acolytes.  Please see Fr. Jeremy if you're interested in serving the Lord and the congregation as an acolyte.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Together we are united with the saints of the household of God; built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. In Christ alone our church is being joined together, and is growing into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. By Your wisdom may we discern what You want us to build; Through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
