CHURCH DONATES HOLIDAY BASKETS

St. John’s Mighty Men, Seasoned Saints, and Children

ministries are in the blessing business

St. John’s Congregational Church is truly in the blessing business. Three of the Church’s numerous ministries worked together to spread the real meaning of Christmas as they obediently practiced what they preached. The old but familiar saying, “It’s better to give than to receive” was quite obvious this past holiday season.

In the spirit of service, the Seasoned Saints, Children’s Church and the Mighty Men of God ministries collectively worked together to spread messages of hope, love, faith, goodness and kindness, which all symbolize the birth and life of Jesus Christ.

Last year, St. John’s blessed more than 150 families with holiday baskets filled with non-perishable food items, blankets, general household goods, toys, a turkey and all the fixings, as well as a tape of the Reverend Dr. Howard-John Wesley dynamically delivering the word of God. Through this thoughtful effort, families were fed both physically and spiritually. The Church is on a mission to “Build the Kingdom of God in the Congregation and Community” and is doing so with one kindness after another.

It is in the spirit of giving that one deeply feels the sincerity of one’s heart and, needless to say, St. John’s truly touched several hearts this holiday season. The Church is located at 643 Union Street, Springfield and its worship services are Sunday's at 8:00am and 10:30am. The Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley is the Senior Pastor.
