Mission Cafe
Members of St. John’s have opportunities to sign up to host coffee hour in between services. It is a great way to meet new people and catch up with those you do know. If you like to bake (or not), this is a great way to share with the congregation. You do get to learn how to use our coffee makers as well. If you can help on a Sunday morning, please Click on this Sign Up Form.
