UPCOMING EVENTS

Just as Simone Biles suffered from "the twisties" in the last Olympics, many of us are struggling with the ups and downs of current events and stress of our own daily lives. Come along for a refreshing and immersive study in Jesus' invitation to "the good life", in the ultimate campaign trail, his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). Jesus leads the way to right-side-up living that brings life and peace to our souls and ripples outward to our families and communities. Featuring Matthew 5-7, "The Narrow Path" by Rich Villodas and The Bible Project Podcast series "sermon on the Mount". Group will be led by Angela Hougas and be at St. John's Church in the Welcome Area on Mondays from 11:30am - 1:00pm, September 9, 2024 through February 10, 2025, and feel free to BYO Lunch. For questions or to sign up : angelahougas@gmail.com

Never read the Bible? Curious how different parts connect to the greater narrative and how they relate to our lives today? Join Pastor Tom on Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. at St. John's as we take a deeper dive into the Bible and the past week's sermon, based on the churchwide series "the big picture". All are welcome, including those who have not been part of our Tuesday morning Bible study in the past. No need to sign up, just join us!
