3rd Sunday after Pentecost, 6/14/26

What does it mean to truly be the Church together? In the second sermon of our summer series, Being Church Together, Fr. Lonnie reminded us that God’s grace always comes first. Before we have everything figured out, before we get it right, before we even know we need it — God is already reaching toward us with love. And because we are people who have received that grace, we are called to share it with one another. Churches are made up of real people — people who sometimes misunderstand, disappoint, or hurt each other. But the work of being the Body of Christ is choosing patience, compassion, and grace even when it’s hard. Being Church together doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means we stay at the table, make room for one another, and trust that God is still working in all of us.

2nd Sunday after Pentecost, 6/7/2026

This week, Fr. Lonnie launched St. John’s summer sermon series, Being Church Together, an exploration of Paul’s Letter to the Romans and its central question: How does God create a people—not just save individuals, but form a family, a body, a Church?

Trinity Sunday, 5/31/26

Deacon Melanie's Trinity Sunday sermon invited the congregation to embrace the mystery of the Triune God not as a doctrine to be mastered, but as an invitation into God's life of love, communion, and relationship—a life that calls us to honor the dignity of every person and to reflect God's reconciling love in the world.

Day of Pentecost, 5/24/26

Ascension Day, 5/14/2026

Fr. Lonnie Lacy's Ascension Day sermon tells us how the Ascension turns everything upside down; because now Christ fills all things, which means there is no place where he is not already present.
