Join the flower team on Saturday, April 4 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. to decorate the sanctuary and the chapel. It’s an especially striking and beautiful way to symbolize the new life that emerges on Easter morning. Just show up and we will enjoy this tradition together of decorating our worship spaces for Easter Sunday.
Now through Monday, March 30, 2026. On Easter, we will place flowers in worship spaces. As a symbol of purity, hope, innocence, and peace you may donate these in honor or memory of loved ones and take the plant home with you after the service. Follow the link below to recognize a loved one or use the sign-up forms around the church! Fill out the online form.
Take a mindfulness break and join the fun as we fill nearly 1,000 eggs with fun sweets and treats for the Easter Egg Hunt. Thursday, March 26 12:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. in the Donnan Room Stop by for 20 minutes or the whole time, bring your own brown bag lunch. Contact jean@stjohnsjackson.org if you plan to help out.

In reflecting back on 2025, I intend to carry forward our Advent theme and use the symbols of fire, whirlwind and water, while also looking through the lens of our ten-year strategic plan we launched this summer under the categories of Rooted, Reaching, and Leading with Love. 2025 was a difficult year and some of those challenges follow us into 2026. The year demanded we tend fire without letting it consume us. It demanded we Read more…
