Would you like to deeply connect with a small group of St. Johners? Consider becoming part of our small group ministry through our Chalice groups. We offer groups meeting both in person at the church and online through Zoom. Each month we focus on a specific topic, sharing our stories and learning from others. Our St. John’s Chalice Groups take a break over the summer, but will start up again this fall with new groups forming. More info will be published about how you can sign up for these once-a-month gatherings.

Coffee Hour Cleanupyard helpers
We’re looking for volunteers to help Jeff clean up after coffee hour! It’s a quick and easy way to contribute, taking only about 45 to 60 minutes after the Sunday service.

If you’re able to help, please sign up on the sheet near Krolfifer Fellowship Hall. If you’re new to this, Jeff will be happy to guide you through the process.

Meditation moves to Thursday

Meditation has been changed to a new day and time. It is now Thursdays, from 2 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. in the Chapel.
 
Meditation is very informal. No previous experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome. Generally, we sit for 25 minutes, walk for 10 minutes, then sit again for another ten minutes. If you would like to join Meditation for the first time, please contact David Strecker.
