Advent by Candlelight is returning to St. John. All ladies, ages 14 to 114, are invited to attend this event to focus attention on the true meaning of the Advent season. Mark your calendars now and plan to join us for the afternoon of Saturday, Dec 7. As in the past, this is intended to be an outreach event, so you are encouraged to invite neighbors, friends, coworkers, relatives, or anyone with whom you would like to share the glorious message of the first coming of our Savior. In a few weeks, there will be invitations out on the table that you can distribute to anyone you care to invite, but ask them now, so they can save the date.
Again, we will be looking for ladies of St. John who would be willing to host a table of eight. If you are interested, please speak to Tamara Julian (651-453-1545) or Jean Koepsell (952-353-5969) for details.

We are excited to introduce an engagement survey designed to gather your valuable feedback. Your insights will help us understand how we can better serve and connect with each other, as we explore the merged congregation potential.
This survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete thoroughly. We kindly ask you to complete the survey as soon as able. Your participation is crucial, and we genuinely appreciate your time and thoughts.
Thank you for being an integral part of our church family. We look forward to hearing from you!
Blessings,
Pastor Glowicki served at St. John from 2003-2011.
