Grandparents at Prayer will not meet this Sunday after worship. Please plan for our next meeting to be November 15.

Our Sunday School year is off to a wonderful start! Children ages 3 through 5th grade are exploring stories from the Old Testament and discovering how God loves His people and keeps His promises. Our children had so much fun learning about the Tower of Babel—and even built their own towers out of paper cups! Our Pre-K children have also been learning through play. While hearing the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they dressed up, acted out the story, and experienced this wonderful lesson about trusting God even when we are afraid. We are grateful for our teachers and volunteers who make Scripture come alive for our children each Sunday. We love seeing our youngest parishioners learning, laughing, and growing in their faith!

We would like to recognize the ministry of Nathan Gilkeson and his incredible dedication and service to St. John's Parish Church. We are deeply grateful for his work with the Feeding of the Multitude (including leading the Bible study in English and Spanish), his service on the Missions Committee, his participation in mission trips to Uganda, and his leadership as head of Domestic Missions. Thank you, Nathan, for all you do. We are so appreciative of your generosity, dedication, and servant-hearted spirit. 

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. Please contact Rob Schluter if you're interested in serving the Lord and the congregation as an acolyte.

The flowers were given to the glory of God
and in memory of Mr. & Mrs. Oliver F. Seabrook & Mr.
& Mrs. Edward S. Bullock
by Mary Agnes & John Seabrook.

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.
