Dear church members and friends of St. John's,
You may join me in prayer for all who lost homes and more in the wildfires including some in the neighborhood of Mary Sterner's parents. Thus far her parent's house is still standing. These wild fires have been frightening and extremely dangerous. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who have been or still are in their destructive path.
