New Church Directories!
► After a long wait, our new Pictorial Directories have finally arrived! They will be available for you to pick up this weekend and for the next few weekends. If your 3-ring binder from the last directory is still in good shape, you can pick up the pages only to put into your old binder (they look exactly the same as the new binders). If however, you have misplaced, didn't receive one, or it's starting to look a little shabby, you may get a new binder along with the pages. Olan Mills provides these directories free of charge IF you had your picture taken or submitted a picture for this directory. We have purchased a limited number of extras for those who didn't have their picture taken. Cost: $8.00.) We hope you enjoy browsing through the activity pictures and viewing the life of St. John's!
