Announcements for January 26 2025
Altar Flowers
Today the altar flowers are given by Lynn Martin to the Glory of God and in honor of the youth and the youth leaders.
Faith Formation for Youth
Both the Confirmation class and the Sunday School class for elementary school students are held on the 1st and 4th Sundays from 4 P.M. – 5 P.M. Therefore, the students will meet today and next Sunday, February 2. The Sunday School class for elementary school students uses LEGO® bricks to help teach the children the basic Bible stories.
Mini-VBS
On Thursday, February 6, when Lexington-Richland 5 has early release for elementary and intermediate schools, St. John’s will offer a “Mini-VBS” from noon until 4 P.M. The children will be given lunch, and we will offer activities planned around a central theme for the day. We will need a few volunteers to help on these days from 11:30 A.M. until 4 P.M.
Flower and Cleaning Charts
The flower and cleaning charts for 2025 are posted in the narthex. Please select the dates when you would like to take advantage of these opportunities to serve.
