reviveFlorida Coming To St. John’s Revival has broken out in Sarasota. On Saturday, June 11 at 9:00 a.m.

reviveFlorida will be breaking out at St. John’s. For the past several months local churches and

pastor/leaders have come together as a

community to worship, pray, and bring the Gospel of Christ to the streets of Sarasota. You are invited to join us as we gather for breakfast,

worship, and evangelism training right here at St. John’s. Directly following, if you would like to join us, we will break up into groups of four and

go into the streets to share the Gospel. If you

have a heart to serve the Lord and you are ready to step out of your comfort zone, then you don’t

want to miss out on this great training opportunity. Looking forward to seeing you on
