Spring '26 Roadside Trash Cleanup

Cleaning up the neighborhood never looked so good! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Spring Roadside Pickup! We spent the morning together brightening up our little corner of God's creation. Between the fellowship, the fresh air, and (of course) the donuts, it was a morning well spent. St. John’s is committed to being good stewards of the beauty the Lord has provided!
