Tiny Church - A Curiosity Meeting• The institution of “church” is fading in America. Many of our

friends, family, and neighbors have rejected what church has traditionally offered. But what if there were a different way to do “church”? A way to let St. John’s amazing messages spark spiritual conversations with the people around you? A new way to build smaller communities of faith, where people are known and valued?

DO YOU KNOW?

Stronghold CambodiaJoin STJ Missions for a ‘come and see’ meeting featuring the Stronghold Cambodia mission trip that will take place in early 2019. Whether you are feeling called to go on the trip, curious about what we are doing at Stronghold or looking for an update, this is an event that will answer all of that and more! Sunday, August 26 at 1pm in Commons West.

Neighborhood Walk WeekendOn September 1–2, St. John will host our 2nd Neighborhood Walk Weekend. NWW is an opportunity to experience God in a spontaneous, new, and exciting way. On this weekend, we will still have church, but on the streets of our communities instead of inside our Sanctuary.

On September 1–2, there will be NO services at St. John. Instead, we are asking you to use your normally scheduled worship time to take a walk through your neighborhood and pray for the individuals and families you live among every day. All you need to do is tune into our livestream on Saturday at 5:00pm, Sunday at 9:00am, or Sunday at 10:45am. There will be brief welcome and message from Pastor Dion and then you will be sent out to walk your neighborhood streets and pray.

We know there’s power in prayer; we also know the power of gathering together. Imagine the impact on our communities, when we band together to ask for God’s favor and blessing on our neighborhoods!
