Lenten Soup and Bread Dinner

The Parish Life Committee is sponsoring two Lenten Soup and Bread Dinners during Lent.

Please join the St. John’s community in the Parish Hall for two Fridays during Lent, March 14 and March 21, for a soup and bread dinner. We will have a different member of St. John’s serve as our leader, helping us come together in prayer and dine together in fellowship.

The Lenten Soup and Bread Dinner will be a free event. We will begin with prayer at 6 pm and then soup, bread, cheese, and apple slices will be served.
