The Great Invitation
Join us this Sunday for
Commitment Sunday
Over the last four weeks, we have walked through the four doors of The Great Invitation together. In the process, we have learned about the importance of worship in our daily lives; the opportunities St. John's provides for spiritual growth; the many avenues in which our parish serves one another, our community and the world; and why your financial gift is so important in keeping these four doors open for all. This Sunday is the culmination of The Great Invitation, when we ask each of you to make your commitment of time, talent, and treasure to God for this year. Please join us for this special Sunday.
