St. John’s Book Exchange “If a man wants to always be in God’s company, he must pray regularly and read regularly. When we pray, we talk to God. When we read, God talks to us.” St. John’s provides a wonderful opportunity to come closer to God by providing a variety of books that are free and meant to be taken and read. You are welcome to keep the book, pass it on, or return it to the shelf when you are finished. Please come browse the books which can be found in the hallway leading to the Bride’s room.
ACH: (Auto check/savings withdrawal) As the new year begins, you may want to consider using this method of tithing. There are advantages in using ACH. For one, we cut down on the amount of envelopes that we send out and when you move we don’t have to worry about address changes. If you go south for the winter you don’t have to worry about stopping your envelopes. Please consider this option for 2017. If you wish to make a change contact Pam in our finance office at 715-384-9565 ext 215. She will answer any questions or concerns you may have.
