Praise in the Park

Please join us for this year's Praise in the Park on Sunday, August 23, beginning with worship at 11:00 AM in beautiful Rochester Municipal Park. This will be the only worship service offered that weekend as our St. John family gathers together to witness Jesus’ love in the community! Make plans now to join us and invite your family, friends, and neighbors too.

Park Information
Dress casually and bring your lawn chairs & blankets as seating will be on the grassy area surrounding the Band Shell in the middle of the park. The worship service will be followed by a free picnic lunch, ice cream, family activities, and more! For our friends and family with mobility concerns, we have golf cart drivers that will transport you to and from the parking lot, as well as seat you in a shaded area with provided chairs.

Donations
This year at Praise in the Park, we will be collecting footballs, basketballs, and soccer balls for Gift’s for All God’s Children (GFAGC). These items can be purchased at 5Below, Target, Meijer, Walmart and other sporting goods stores. Bring your donations to Family Praise and Picnic in the Park to support this ministry! Donations can also be left in the atrium from now until August 23. For more information, please contact Jennie Eller.

Thank you for your generosity and support that is continually given to our mission partners. All loose (non-envelope) cash offerings collected will also benefit our mission partners. If you have questions or want to be more involved in missions, please contact Jennie Eller, Director of Missions & Outreach.
