An hour-long get-together including a light supper and midweek communion.

   Dear Parish and Friends,

   We would like to welcome you all to St. Johns in the Mountains 2025/26 Seasons of Giving campaign “Tell out my Soul”.  We hope you will all follow us during this journey.

   You might be asking yourself, what is this theme and what does it mean? 
What is it to Tell out my Soul? Telling out your soul is simply Encouraging Christians to proclaim Gods Greatness and message of Salvation. 

    St. Johns in the Mountains has a long history of parishioners serving God and his message, and we do it in many ways.  We ask you to look for and learn from materials including many reflections and discussions, that will help us spread this message all the way up to the conclusion of the campaign this Fall.

On behalf of the Seasons of Giving committee,

David Small, Pete Johnson, Andy Rodman
