Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. — 1 Corinthians 12.4-7
"The seed of God is in us. Given an intelligent and hard-working farmer, it
will thrive and grow up into God whose seed it is; and accordingly its
fruits will be God-nature. Pear seeds will grow into pear trees. Nut seeds
into nut trees, and God seeds into God."
- Meister Eckhart (ca. 1260 - ca. 1328)
Our goal is to help children deepen their relationship with God, learn about the love of Jesus Christ, and become active members of the St. John's family and the greater Christian community. Input from parents is always welcome. As their children's first and best teachers, parents have a critical role in faith development. At St. John's, we see ourselves as partners with parents in helping children to develop a strong faith that will sustain them throughout their lives.

Is your family expecting a birth or adoption in the next few months? If so, the St. John's New Arrival Ministry would like to prepare for and celebrate this important occasion with you!
This ministry was created to provide a home-cooked meal, a welcome gift, and any other support the church can offer your family during this special time. Families who are adopting or expecting should contact Cathy Ode to connect with this exciting new parish ministry, run by Children's Ministry Team members Ashley Adams, Elizabeth Henna and Kristen Russell.
