Greetings My Friends,
I’m running late today, so I’ll just jump right into the news:
Our United Methodist Men will gather for our monthly breakfast meeting this Sunday, at 7:30 AM. Hope to see y’all there!! Why not invite someone to join you?
There will be only one worship service this Sunday - at 9:30 AM. Please make […]
Hi folks,
It has been pointed out to me that there is some confusion about my announcement in Thursday’s “News & Notes” about the date of the special Church Conference - some thinking I made “my first mistake ever.” Let me just clear things up.
I said in the original that the Church Conference was November 5th. […]
Dear St. John’s Church Community,
This is one of those filled-with-extra-blessings-days, so I must get right to the news.
The youth did a great job last Sunday of leading our congregation in worship! Thank you to each of them - and to their leaders, who helped them create the service.
Drew Wms told me that we have been […]
Dear St. John’s Folks,
Or maybe I should say “Dear St. Mark’s Folks!” Did you see the article in Foster’s on Monday - about the MLK Jr. event at our church on Sunday evening? They identified us first as “St. Thomas’” and then as “St. Mark’s.” I think I prefer the second - after all, I’ve […]
Dear St. John’s Church Family,
Greetings! Today is a day of remembrance and prayer - the anniversary date of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti. For the past two years, teams of United Methodist Volunteers in Mission have selflessly donated their time, finances and energy to assist in the recovery and rebuilding effort. Today, the Haiti […]
Happy New Year St. John’s!!
Lots happening around the church - or maybe it just seems like allot, with Sandy out of the office. Let me begin simply by saying Sandy’s surgery went very well, and she’s doing “swimmingly!” Her biggest problem now is boredom - as she feels fine, but can’t do anything yet. Thanks […]
Greetings to you, My Friends,
There’s not allot happening around the church this week, so there isn’t much news to share. Let me begin with something from Cheri N - who was the “chief arranger” of Advent/Christmas decorations in the sanctuary:
THANK YOU all for your contribution of the Poinsettia’s for Christmas. They were beautiful! Thank you […]
Christmas Greetings to you, my Friends,
I start this issue of “News & Notes” with sad news, but important news. This is part of an obituary that appeared in this morning’s edition of “Foster’s”:
A. Harvey Knepp died on December 21, at Riverside Rest Home at the age of 91. He was born December 2, 1920 near […]
Dear St. John’s Folks,
Here’s all the news that’s “fit to send” today:
It’s anticipated that the “closing” on the piece of land in Farmington that was given to St. John’s as part of Russell Newell’s estate will take place tomorrow!! Some of the Trustees thought this day would never come. It’s been a long ordeal, and […]
Dear St. John’s Folks,
Lots to share today, so I’ll jump right in. What a wonderful event Steve and Jeff (and all their partners in crime) gave to our congregation and community last Sunday evening. Even though I was in it, I still feel that I can say the concert was a blessing for our souls. […]
