Sunday Worship
11:00 am
We will now be serving Communion for those who feel comfortable doing so.
In the event of extreme weather this winter, the following are guidelines that will be used to determine if Sunday services and other activities will be cancelled to ensure the safety of our members and guests:
 
  • If the County is under a Winter Storm/No Travel Advised Warning by the National Weather Service through 9am Sunday morning, then all services will be cancelled.
  • If temperatures are -30F or lower Sunday morning, then all services will be cancelled.  Wind chills can at times be negative digits, and individuals should use their discretion as to whether they feel safe being out on the roads.
  • If over a foot of snow falls over a short period of time prior to Sunday morning, and no travel is advised by National Weather Service, then all services will be cancelled.
  • If individuals are concerned about their safety being out and traveling on a Sunday morning, then they should stay home.
  • If on weekdays, Spring Valley Schools are closed or dismissed early because of inclement weather, all church activities will be cancelled for that evening, unless otherwise determined by the Pastor or church leaders.
Help be Good Stewards of our Church Building
 
St. John’s church building is over 20 years old, and things are occurring that remind us of this fact.  It is apparent that we need to invest in good maintenance, upkeep, and yes, even replacement of equipment….. 1) new air conditioning unit for office/narthex ($4500)   2) bird damage repair and deterrent ($2000)  3) cleaning of exterior of building and windows ($3300).  In order to be good stewards of our church building, we need to spend money to take care of it.  We did not budget for these extras this year, but in the future will include $5000-10,000 a year for maintaining our church building.  We ask that you consider giving extra to the General Fund-building maintenance as you are able to help off-set the costs of the above mentioned maintenance-replacements that need attention.  Thank you for your continued support.
