Happening This Week...ANNOUNCEMENTS

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 10TH

Happy Birthday Brodie Campus!This Sunday we are celebrating the launch of the Brodie location one year ago. Our first Sunday at St. John’s was

on November 11, 2012. It’s hard to imagine that just over a year ago we were having dessert meetings to see who wanted to

commit to being a pilgrim to help form our core group at the

Brodie Campus. I want to give a BIG

thank you to the whole church for making this all possible. Thank you for your prayers, your financial support,

your encouragement and your presence. Thank you to all the pilgrims for answering God’s call and leaving your familiar surroundings and familiar faces at the William Cannon Campus to venture further south. What a great first year it has been. We are looking forward to all that God has in store as we continue to reach out to the surrounding community with the good news of Jesus Christ! Join us for lunch & cake today after worship at the Brodie Campus as we experience the 1st Big Story Live with kids & parents!Serving You for His Glory!
