Name Tags

Remember when you first walked into church how difficult it was remembering someone’s name you just met. Name tags help us put a name with a face. Please, let’s help our newcomers by wearing our name tag each Sunday. (If it helps, leave your name tag(s) in your car, out of direct sunlight).

Nursery & Preschool

Thanks to our wonderful Sunday school teachers, Claudia and Ron Boyce! Click here to see part of a lesson they taught on the Trinity. Can't do it without our volunteers.

We need adult volunteers to serve our nursery and preschool children each Sunday. Would you consider signing up to help a couple of Sundays so we can continue to pour into the next generation?

Ministry of the Week

Music Ministry

The music ministry at St. John’s Parish Church desires to see each person worship God in spirit and truth in a way that music can speak where words cannot. The worship team seeks to do this by blending contemporary worship music, traditional hymns, and spiritual songs in a liturgical setting. The choir has recently joined as part of the worship service for special occasions for the first time since starting to worship at Haut Gap. Look for them on future Sundays. For more information about the Music Ministry, contact Rob Schluter or Sally Dixon.

A Prayer for our Parish

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.
