REMINDER ABOUT COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
  
          St. John's is complying with Governor Wolf and Bishop Johnson's directives related to COVID-19 precautions. As you know, we are currently under a stay-at-home order so please stay home and stay safe!  We will re-open for in-person worship when we are directed to safely do so. Daily Devotionals and a daily prayer list are being sent to all on our email list, and we will be gathering as a church family each Sunday for online worship.  The service will be posted on the front page of our website (StJohnsIvyland.com) Sunday mornings.  I hope you will join us this week!
 
          Please consider mailing your tithes and offerings (820 Almshouse Rd., Ivyland 18974), or donate via our website or text giving (877-960-2396).  Although we are forced to be on a hiatus from worship right now, our expenses are not on hiatus.  Thank you for your generosity.
