PROGRAMS

SUNDAY SCHOOL

St. John’s offers two Sunday School classes for children:

2 YEARS OLD THROUGH 5TH GRADE

GRADE 6 THROUGH COLLEGE AGED STUDENTS

Both groups gather for Chapel at 9:30am each Sunday for a “mini” worship service which includes singing, prayer, scripture, and an offering. The children then split into two groups for their respective Sunday School classes from 9:45am -10:45am.

ADULT FORUM

Greetings! You are all once again invited to join us Sunday mornings before worship for a variety of studies and programs. And bring your friends! We gather in the Trinity Room at 9:30am for coffee or tea, then begin our program at 9:45am with a sharing of joys and concerns.

This is what we have planned for December:
 

December 1-Join us for Advent Breakfast in the Social Hall to kick off the Christmas season with this fun event!

December 8-Sherri Binder, Executive Director of Ripple Community, will be with us to share the progress of the multipurpose facility at the property donated to them by Emmanuel UCC. This organization continues to expand its services to those who need a hand.

December 15-Bill Falla will lead us in an Advent study titled “Another View of Christmas” based on the Gospel of Matthew. We always have a terrific conversation with Bill!                                                                                                  

December 22 and 29-Adult Forum will be on our holiday break.  Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and stay tuned for more interesting things to come in 2025.
