Save SJ $100 Each Month ... Make the Switch from PushPay to SubSplash TODAY!

Our goal for everyone to make the switch was June 12 but there are still some who have not made the switch. For information please contact [email protected].

When we give, we give as an act of worship and in support of the ministry of the Gospel. At St. John's, we offer multiple ways for you to give. You can give online at http://Give.StJohnsDenver.org, or open the "St. John's Denver App" on your mobile device, push the top-left menu button and select "Giving." Whenever you set up a recurring gift, it helps St. John's to make an even bigger difference, because we can count on your regular support. Thanks for your generosity! You are truly making a difference.

How Should We Respond to Evil? Check Out Pastor Michael's Most-Recent Blog Post

In the past several weeks we have witnessed evil. There is an impact that happens when evil raises its serpent head whether at home in Orlando or on campus at Stanford or across the sea with ISIS or in Africa. Pastor Michael invites you to respond in a biblical manner when these evils occur. How should we respond? Check out Pastor Michael's Blog!

Youth Group News

5th-8th-grade youth group

One of the toughest parts of being young is feeling like you don't count yet, like you can't be heard or respected or even helpful until you're older. And it's frustrating because deep down it feels like that shouldn't be true, like there's something wrong with that system. If you've ever felt that way, you're in good company. As we take a look at two letters from the New Testament written to a young church leader named Timothy, we find out how to keep anyone from looking down on us just because we are young. Wednesday 5:30-7:00pm.

W.H.A.T. (9th-12th grades)

No youth group this weekend! Please, spend some time enjoying the best things you love about the dad in your life. Do something with him that he really enjoys.

Burritos and Cinnamon Rolls---June 26th

This is the final fundraiser for the 20 of us heading to New Orleans for the 2016 National Youth Gathering. We will be selling breakfast burritos and fresh baked cinnamon rolls from 8:30-11:30am. Breakfast Burritos will be $20 each and cinnamon rolls will be $10 each. Get both for $25! I know this isn't much of a deal but the goal is to get these youth to a weeklong experience with Christ. Come help support us and leave a delicious breakfast to us!
