Service Times: Saturday: 5 pm Sunday: 8 am 9:30 am 10:50 am
Welcome to St. John’s! We are so glad you have joined us today and pray that you are spiritually uplifted by God’s grace in this place! We are currently in a sermon series entitled, “Can I Get a Witness?” During the course of this series, we will explore the many different ways we can witness in our everyday lives. Complementing each lesson will be a real, personal story that illustrates the value of witnessing as we teach God’s children, reach God’s world, and grow God’s kingdom. Our fervent hope is that we inspire and equip you to be a bold witness for Christ, touching people you know with His love and grace!
