KIDS & STUDENTS PRAYERS
The Lord’s SupperAt St. John we believe God gives us Holy Communion for the forgiveness of sins (Matthew 26:26–28) and the deepening of our relationship with Him and also each other. All who share in our profession of the Christian faith are encouraged to partake in Holy Communion provided they:
• have received Christian Baptism (Acts 2:36–38),• recognize and confess their sinfulness (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:8–9),• forgive others (Matthew 5:21–24; Matthew 6:12) and• believe the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ are truly
present, offered under forms of bread and wine (1 Corinthians 10:16; 1 Corinthians 11:27–29).
For questions about Communion or for parents of children wishing to receive Holy Communion (who have not yet received Lord’s Supper instruction), please speak with a pastor after the service. You may also go to stjstl.net/communion for further study.
Note: Non-alcoholic wine is offered in the blue section of the communion trays and gluten-free wafers are also available at all communion stations for those with special needs.

ADULTS
PB&J: Creating connections that are that good.During this series, we’re taking a look at relationships and what makes for strong healthy ones. And, because we really value relationships and community, we're encouraging you to take time to connect with one another before and after services.
On Satuday nights, we’re inviting you to hang out for a while in the lobby after service throughout the entire series. We'll have some warm and sweet treats for you to enjoy--and ruin your dinner appetite, too!
On Sunday mornings, we’re inviting you to gather in the Commons before and after services to get to know one another. And we know every gathering is better with food, so we’ll have St. Louis Kolaches and St. Louis’ Kaldi’s coffee that you can purchase and our delicious donut holes along with other surprises for you.
So, make plans to be here early or stay after during the month of February and make some new connections with the people you worship with every weekend.
