St John’s will be celebrating its 100th Anniversary from
November, 2009, through November, 2010. To prepare for this momentous occasion, the “New Beginnings” committee was established several years ago and has been planning a year-long schedule of activities.


Anniversary events are highlighted and include a brief synopsis.  Some events are tentative, and information could change while the event is being finalized.  More details will be published at a later date.  Check back often!

In the Event of Inclement Weather ...
If snow or ice necessitate the canceling of worship or other activities at St. John's,
please tune into WFMZ-TV, channel 69.  That station is kind enough to list all
cancellations as a "crawler" at the bottom of their telecasts.  Thank you very much!
