Pride Sunday, TODAY. June is LGBTQIA+ Pride Month and Saint John’s has made a public commitment as an RIC congregation to affirm that LGBTQIA+ persons are queerfully and wonderfully made by God. We believe that diversity was God’s idea first, following God’s example we seek to include ALL people!
ASP Thank You: On behalf of all the youth and adult ASP volunteers (20) for the 2024 mission trip to Wise County, VA, we would like to thank all the members, friends, and visitors of Saint John’s for the amazing outpouring of donations toward our 24th trip with Appalachia Service Project. With your help, we raised $4650! Coupled with the $1000 raised by the five volunteers from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Glen Rock, that brings our grand total to $5650, which is an all-time record for this type of fundraiser. Thank you again for your generosity, prayers, and support.
The Church Office will be closed, July 4 & 5 for Independence Day.
