Women of all ages join us as we start a new six week study on David Jeremiah's 1 & 2 Timothy & Titus: The Way to Live and Lead for Christ. 7PM Thursday nights beginning January 8. Led by Curry Smoak, Lynn Gervais, and Ginni Quisenberry. Get the book on Amazon. 

Mark your calendars for our Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 25th, 2026. Our worship service will start an hour earlier at 9AM and the meeting will immediately follow. During the meeting, we will elect new vestry members and elect delegates to attend the diocesan convention. We will also discuss what 2026 will look like for St John's Parish Church.

Is God calling you to serve? Or is there someone else He's put on your heart to ask? Prayerfully consider who God is calling to serve on vestry this next year. We have four vestry members rotating off and need replacements. Fill out the vestry nomination form and send it and a short bio to Sally Dixon no later than January 12th. Please be sure to ask those you'd like to nominate before submitting their name as a nomination.

It's time for us to turn in our Ministry Reports for our annual meeting in January. Ministry leaders, this is an opportunity to share with everyone in the congregation what you and your ministry did in 2025. Please turn your report in to Sally Dixon as a Microsoft Word document no later than January 12th.

Philip Bryan has hand crafted several wooden boxes to help raise funds for building on the new property. They are available for pickup at Resurrection Hall with a donation to the Building Fund. Come take a look while supplies last. All proceeds go directly to the Building Fund.

2026 Parish Calendars are here and currently available! See Debbie Hawkins in the Connection Corridor on Sunday or Resurrection Hall during the week to get yours. Each month features a different photo of our parish family, and the back features the Parish Photo we took on Pentecost Sunday. Suggested minimum donations are $50 per calendar, and all proceeds go directly to the Building Fund. Get yours while supplies last.

Our Sunday School kids have been learning about Moses, a faithful shepherd who listened to God’s voice, along with other Bible heroes like Jonah and David. Each lesson teaches stewardship and thanksgiving, helping children grow in gratitude and faith. We’re so thankful for our amazing volunteers who make each Sunday special! 

Every Tuesday at 1:15PM, a small group meets to address any prayer needs of the parish and to pray where the Holy Spirit leads. Teams are also available for home visits. Every Sunday we also have prayer teams available during Holy Eucharist. These teams join with anyone in lifting their needs to the Lord. If you are interested in joining the prayer team, ask any prayer team member or email Lindy.

The flowers are given to the glory of God.

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.
