Today at 7:30 PM: Evening Prayer and The Apostolic Fathers

/

St. John’s Church offers two opportunities each Wednesday evening via Zoom. All are welcome to attend either or both.

7:30pm – Evening Prayer. This is an opportunity to share joys and concerns, seek spiritual refreshment, pray together, and catch up with each other in the middle of the week. Outstanding sacred music is included.

8:00-9:00pm – Lecture and discussion of The Apostolic Fathers featuring Dr. Bart Ehrman. At each evening session we will listen to an audio lecture by Prof. Ehrman and then discuss the content. The Apostolic Fathers were Christian writers of the second century CE whom tradition connected with the original apostles of Jesus. Their writings are important for understanding the development of the early Church in the period immediately following the time of the New Testament. We anticipate a very interesting and informative lecture and discussion. There is no cost and no book is required.

Today at 5:00 PM: Mobile Food Pantry

/

St. John's UCC in partnership with Sudanese Grace Episcopal Church will host a Feeding America Mobile Food Pantry on February 7, 2024, at 1550 Oswego NW, Grand Rapids, MI., 49504.  Volunteers will gather at 5:00pm and distribution starts at 6:00pm.  Last month, 25 volunteers worked together to provide food to 151 households, 502 individuals, 105 seniors, 190 children and 15 veterans. The numbers of people who come to the Mobile Food Pantry continues to grow.  Three volunteers were new to the team: JoJo Dannison, Ginger Sinsabaugh and Ellen Mott. Caring for our neighbors is important to all of our volunteers and we look forward to continuing to work together to end hunger. A small donation was delivered to UCOM by Rick Heath and Todd Krupp. Warm knitted hats made by Carol Stechow were distributed to clients.  For more information, feel free to contact Teresa Markoski at 616-690-4566 or at tmarkoski2004@yahoo.com.  Financial support is welcome by contributing on the church app or by writing a check to St. John's United Church of Christ, 1934 Bridge Street NW, Grand Rapids, MI., 49504.  We extend our gratitude for your support of our work to end hunger.  Together, we serve.
