Save the Date!  On Sunday, September 7 at 5 p.m. we will be holding a Congregational Fellowship Evening as a get together  for all members of St. John’s.  This will be a Potluck Supper with games followed by a closing short worship service.  This will give us an opportunity to spend time together with each other for a fun evening!!
