Welcome to St. John’s! We are so glad that 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 on The Disciples of Jesus. Join us each week to witness their growing pains and flashes of maturity, courage and cowardice, faithfulness and treachery. Most of all, be amazed at the extraordinary difference Jesus can make in and through the lives of ordinary people who say yes to His invitation to follow Him!
