Co-lead a Bible lesson and craft for students with Deaconess Michele: During Connect service, Deaconess Michele does a craft with students once or twice a month, and is in need of volunteers to assist.

NEST: Are you good at being a sounding board for ideas? Are you good at praying for our school? Our Nurturing Eagle Support Team (N.E.S.T.) is looking for additional assistance from anyone with St. John’s connections (church or school). All that’s required is some time to meet and your passion for SJLS. Give the school office a call or read more about upcoming events here.
