Dear church members and friends of St. John's,
Last Sunday we had a powerful healing service. Many people came forward for prayer. It was a powerful experience as the presence of the Lord manifested in our midst. The sermon text this Sunday, called Touch and Go with Jesus, is based on Mark 1:29-39.
Here are some aactivities and events at the church this Sunday, February 5:
- This Sunday is Souper Bowl Sunday. The Youth will be serving a variety of soups in Fellowship Hall, including "stone soup" created from donated items from the congregation. Bring your favorite fresh or canned ingredient to the kitchen before church to be added to vegetable stock. All money raised goes to Braes Interfaith Ministries, our local food pantry.
- We will celebrate the sacrament of communion during worship this Sunday.
- This Sunday there is a Blood Drive in Room 209 from 8 am - Noon. Come to Room 209 and help make a difference in the world! Drop-ins are welcome.
Looking ahead, I invite you to join me in an 8-week Lenten Course called Unbinding the Gospel. The course will begin the first Sunday of Lent, February 26 at 4:30 – 6 pm. The study will include 6 weeks of prayer with a prayer partner and 40 days of praying through a prayer journal which will help you move closer to God and grow as a Christian.
All are invited to St. John's Breakfast, Saturday, February 4, at 8 am. At 8:30, Officer E. J. Joseph from the Houston Police Department will present a program for us entitled "Home Safety."

Keep your Session in prayer as we have a retreat this Saturday.
