We are excited to prepare another wonderful year of Sunday School at St. John’s Parish Church! Children 3 years old through 5th grade are invited to join us each Sunday as we learn about God’s love through Bible stories, prayer, crafts, music, and fellowship. Parents please see Angie Baughman after Sunday's service to complete a 2026–2027 Sunday School registration form and sign the photo release authorization for your child.

We would like to recognize and celebrate the ministry of Flip Bryan. Flip has spent many hours helping to survey the entire new property, including "staking out" the footprint locations of each of our planned buildings. He is also working toward having the property lines abolished to combine our new land into a single property. He has been an instrumental resource in the site-planning and design meetings with our civil engineering consultants. Thank you Flip for all your hard work.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry provides hand-crafted shawls to give comfort and warmth to those experiencing illness, sorrow, need, or distress.  We also provide baby blankets to celebrate the newly baptized. Makers pray as they create the shawls and blankets which are then blessed by our clergy. If you know someone who could benefit by receiving one or if you are interested in joining us, please contact Susan Neville or Polly Sosnowski. 

The flowers were given to the glory of God
and in memory of our mom, Marilyn Olson,
by her girls – Sue, Sally & Sheri.

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.
