JESUS IS OUR KING!
We're celebrating Palm Sunday today! As Jesus rode into Jerusalem,the people lined up along the street, took off their coats, and carpeted the street with them. They cut palm branches and waved them like flags as they shouted “Hosanna" to honor Jesus. Come to Sunday School and learn more about this joyful celebration! We meet in the Second Floor Music Room at 9:25 a.m.

Do you enjoy fresh flowers? Each week the altar is beautified with fresh flowers given by individuals of St. John’s congregation. Flowers may be given in memory or in honor of someone or some occasion, in thanksgiving of something or to the Glory of God. The flowers may be taken home after the Sunday
services for you to enjoy at home or perhaps share with a loved one or someone you wish to share an invitation to worship at St. John’s. The Flower Chart for 2024 is posted in the narthex on the left brick pillar as you walk into the sanctuary. Flowers are $55 for two arrangements. If you wish to sign up for a particular Sunday and someone else has already signed up, we invite you to sign up in addition to another person giving flowers – you can split the $55 cost with the person signed up or purchase an additional two arrangements for $55. Multiple floral arrangements to beautify the altar are always welcome! A member of the Altar Guild will contact you in advance for your dedication.
