For anyone who has taken Following Christ, but who has not yet taken Sharing Christ, we invite you to this next step in becoming missionary disciples of Christ. Sharing Christ focuses on personal or friendship evangelization, sharing our relationship with Jesus in our daily encounters with people in our everyday life. Does your heart burn to share Christ? Register today at stjohnsp.org/sharing.

All women are invited to Lent with Purpose on Feb. 11, 7—9p.m., for a night of prayer and reflection. The evening will include Fr. Erik Arnold as our guest speaker and confession.

Couples, have you ever experienced a dryness in your marriage? Have you found forgiveness in your marriage and family life challenging? Have you been hurt or have you held back forgiveness or do you just need a restart in your own relationship. Join us as we continue this year’s Marriage Enrichment Series, When the Wine Runs Dry, and turn to Our Lord for his healing when the wine runs dry. 

Join us as we celebrate Catholic Schools Week with a yummy Italian dinner to support St. John the Evangelist School. Please note - due to the impending snow the Italian Dinner has been rescheduled from Monday, Jan. 26 to Monday, Feb. 2.

At the beginning of each Following Christ & Sharing Christ courses, we provide a time for fellowship over dessert. Help others grow in their relationship with Christ in a personal way by volunteering to provide a sweet treat for the participants. Either store-bought or homemade would be great. Or help with hospitality in serving our guests.
