HAVE YOU EVER wanted to speak to someone about their church attendance, but couldn’t find the words to say?  Have you ever been concerned about those who are not coming to the Lord’s house and wanted to do something about it?  As we continue to walk together in a common faith, St. John’s Evangelism Committee is looking for those in the congregation who would like to help in our effort to reach those in our congregation who have become inactive in their worship life for one reason or another.  We will be offering a training course to aid in conversing with our brothers and sisters who are not regularly meeting with us for divine worship.  The training will take place the last week of March at a time that is to be decided.  May God bless you as you consider this opportunity for strengthening our life together in Christ.
