Starry Nights
Advent & Christmas to Ephiphany
How good it is to sing praises to our God; for God is gracious, and a song of praise fitting. God heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds. God determines the number of the stars and gives to all of them their names. +Psalm 147: 1-4

All Ages Epiphany Star Festival
You are invited to St. John’s first ever Epiphany Star Festival! Through festive worship, joy filled music, and thoughtful reflections we will celebrate the way God is revealed to us in the light of others. Come wearing your most sparkly, star adorned outfit, bring a star themed treat for coffee hour, and join us as we celebrate this season of discovery and connection as we follow the light together.
Advent brings us through the darkest night of the year, and back out toward the light of Christmas and Epiphany. All are welcome to any service or formation opportunity!
