Happy New Year Greetings St. John’s Family!
Hope you and yours have had a wonderful holiday season as we begin this New Year 2026. I am looking forward to sharing the blessings of this New Year with each of you! Our January message series is entitled “Finding God’s Agenda.”. Our Bible Study will focus on the prominent Bible characters in the Old Testament. All are welcome. I hope to see you saturating your souls in God’s Word beginning this New Year. Our church and ministry will continue to meet community needs as we share the good news of Jesus Christ! Let’s put Christ first in all we do in 2026. God will honor our faithfulness!
We are ending the year on a hopeful note, knowing that our faith in Christ will strengthen our resolve in facing whatever 2026 may bring. We are optimistic to see how the Lord will use our precious church this upcoming year. We need each member, friend and representative of St. John’s UCC to be an ambassador for Christ reflecting God’s light and love for the world! Your time, talents and financial support will help us write the story of 2026. Please be an active part of our story for this New Year! By God’s mercy and grace we will see HIS LOVE manifest in a world that desperately needs a savior! Let’s be the church that loves and cares!
