We are grateful and excited to have this offsite worship at the home of the Sosnowskis who have once again offered the space to make up for being rained out last year. This will be an outdoor service, so please bring a chair and dress appropriately. Sunglasses and hats are welcome. Transport from parking to the service area will be avaiable. We will not have nursery or children’s Sunday school. And pray for good weather!

The Mom’s group Bible Study would love to help restock the Haut Gap teacher classroom supplies and provide them with some sweet treats to show our appreciation/support as they round out the year.

If you would like to help, please bring the supplies to church next Sunday May 3rd OR you can follow the QR code to the Amazon link & the supplies will be delivered to Lauren Milleman who will ensure they get to the teachers. Thank you for your help!

Did you know the Daughters of the Holy Cross have a prayer box available for anyone to put prayer requests in?

Feel free to drop a prayer request in the prayer box in the Connection Corridor on Sunday. All requests are kept confidential.

To my parish family,

I wrote what I will refer to as a booklet about my health experiences a little more than four years ago. If you would like to have a copy, they will be available in the Connection Corridor this Sunday and at Resurrection Hall after.

Alleluia! Jesus is Risen! Our Sunday School lessons will continue as we follow the life of Jesus after His resurrection. We will explore His time on earth before His ascension and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Thank you to all of our parents and family memebers for your faithfulness to bring your children to Sunday School. It is a pleasure to share God’s word with these future leaders of our parish.

Ushers serve an important role in the life of St. John’s Parish Church on Sundays and other special services. They greet everyone as they enter the sanctuary, hand out bulletins and other papers as needed.  They also assist newcomers to find their way — whether to find a place to sit, locate the nursery or maybe find the restroom. Ushers also help to collect the offering and present it at the altar. When it is time to receive communion, they help the congregation know when it is the proper time to come forward. Another very important role of an usher is to count attendance at worship services. If you would like to find out more about being an usher, please contact Sally Dixon: sdixon@stjohnsparish.net.

The flowers are given to the glory of God.

If you would like to dedicate Altar Flowers in 2026 in honor or remembrance of a loved one, please contact Sally at sdixon@stjohnsparish.net.

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.
