Prayers
Welcome to St. John’s!
We’re glad you chose to worship with us today.
If this is your first time at St. John’s, we invite you to come to the Information Center in the Worship Center Lobby between services. We’d like to meet you and we have a special gift for you.
Nursery (Age 0 to 35 months) is available during the services. Our nursery is located in the Lobby to the left of the Worship Center.
Sunday School (Age 3 years through 6th grade) Parents! Check your child into Sunday School at the Express Check-in (located in front of the Nursery) between 8:10-8:30 a.m. and 9:30-9:55 a.m. During both services, children will be dismissed to Sunday School and their teachers will walk them to class. You may pick them up in their classrooms after the service.
Restrooms with diaper changing stations are located in the lobby, across from the nursery. Exiting from the Sanctuary, turn left; exiting the Worship Center, turn right.
Need information? Try the Information Center in the Lobby between worship services. It’s a great place to get information or find out about current activities.
In the back of the chairs you will find PRAYER Cards for your prayer requests and CONNECT Cards (one per family) to register your worship attendance and note any contact information changes, including new e-mail addresses. Prayer Cards will be collected by the ushers early in the service. If you would like more information on our ministries, fill out a NEXT STEPS Card. Connect Cards and Next Steps Cards may be placed in the offering plate as it is passed.
A friendly reminder to all, please silence all devices.
Prayer support, if you would like someone to pray with you, please come to the front, following the worship service.
We invite you to submit your prayer petitions using a Prayer Request card in the seat backs or by contacting Debbie Holbrook, 665-7815
