Join us on Saturday, May 31st to kick off the start of summer with a southern pig pickin'. The festivities begin at 5pm and goes until sunset in the St. John's parking lot.  Andy Perkins will once again lead the team preparing the pig.  Come out and partake in pulled pork sandwiches with all the fixin's (hotdogs for those who don't eat barbeque).  Beer and lemonade will also be served.

Bring a lawn chair in which to sit.  Buy tickets online using Square Marketplace.  Adult tickets are $10; children (3-12) tickets are $5; and children under 3 tickets are free.  The online registration and payment deadline for participants at St. John's is Wednesday, May 28.

A computer will be available for the next two Sundays after each worship service to make the registration process as simple as possible for you.

The event is designed to be a community neighborhood event, open to all "in our neighborhood."  Be thinking about who you can invite to help us start off the summer!

Ascension Day Worship & Death by Chocolate Reception, 5/29

Jesus, when he was in time, had a history.  On the fortieth day of his resurrected life he left time, entering again into a glorious eternity so that he is always present to us.

Jesus has all eternity to listen to our prayers in time.  By removing his physical presence at the Ascension he made himself available to the whole world instantaneously.  This is the glory of the Ascension.

Ascension Day Worship will be Thursday evening, May 29 at 6:30pm followed by a "Death by Chocolate" reception.
