Events
Refugee Sunday
The Sakhi family will join St. John's for the 10am service, where Mohammad Sakhi will share brief remarks about his resettlement experience over the past year, and the pending arrival of his sister and her family. After the service, the Sakhis are preparing a brunch for all, including Russian and Afghan dishes.
A free-will donation will be collected at the brunch to support St. John's Refugee Fund. Mohammad and his volunteer team have raised $8,400 of the $10,000 required for his sister's resettlement (including an $1,800 donation from St. John's)—your additional donation will help close that gap! Any donations beyond that will be applied toward the church's refugee fund, which will be used where needed most.
Donations can also be made in the plate or by Zelle, just designate that it is for St. John's Refugee Fund. Thank you!
