Congratulations
Dylan Konarski and Gabby Ludlow welcomed their daughter River Lynn on Tuesday morning. She weighed 6 pounds 5 ounces. Everyone is doing well.

Property Facilitator(s)
St. John’s is blessed to have beautiful facilities, and we need one or two facilitator(s) to help maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all. This ministry will focus on recruiting to get small tasks done and reaching out to vendors for quotes for more complex tasks. Please let Pastor Michele or a council member know if you feel called to serve.
