I would like to thank everyone who has helped and continues to help with St. John’s many ministries. It is beautiful to have these opportunities and to come together as a community. I appreciate all of your support to St. John and towards one another by offering your time, talents, and resources.
God is alive and is journeying with us in all that we do. It is such a blessing to be on this journey with all of you, finding fullness of life in Christ.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as God, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
Colossians 2:6-7
