ADULT FAITH FORMATION
Church Council President John Rice has requested Faith Formation time with St. John’s adults and teens, working with a small team of facilitators to continue our ongoing discussion about life and ministry at St. John’s. These gatherings in Sparks Fellowship Hall will prepare the church family for our next steps following Pastor Steve’s retirement in early December. Check out the series overview:
