# Welcome
# Welcome to St. John United Methodist Church
!!
**The Mission of St. John United Methodist Church is to grow disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world, and to be a welcoming family, joyfully sharing God’s light.**
We believe that you belong to God. We strive to be a welcoming family, and to celebrate the diversity each person brings, but like all families, we are not always so successful. Our members are politically diverse, but united by the love of God. We try hard to love and serve our neighbors and community. No matter your doubts and questions, your race or ethnicity, your political persuasions, your age, economic status, physical or mental abilities, your sexual orientation, your gender identity, no matter whom you call family, we hope to welcome you into the St. John family. We invite you to come as you are, for you are loved by God.
**Watch services at 9:15 (traditional) and 11:30 (contemporary) live or later on our YouTube channel**

**Blood donation Feb. 2**
The Blood Bank of Alaska is coming to St. John on Feb. 2. If you would like to donate, please contact the church office or Carla Wight at wightcarla@yahoo.com. The Blood Bank will be contacting you to set up a donation time.
**Wednesday Night Supper**
The menu for January 29 is meatloaf with mashed potatoes and darn good chocolate cake. Supper starts at 5:15 and runs until “about” 6:00 or 6:15. Suggested donation is $10/plate and $5/half plate but please just pay as you can. We hope to see you there!
**Financial Peace University**
If you've ever felt like you just can't get in control of your money, you're not alone. You'd be surprised how many people you know are struggling just like you. But it's time for your struggle to end. Join us on Wednesday evenings for a nine-session class beginning January 29 through April 16, led by coordinators Katie and Dan Marshall. Together we'll learn how to pay off debt, save more money, and build wealth. Child care is available. Scholarships may be available upon request.
**Greeters needed!**
Are you looking for a chance to get involved at St. John, meet new friends, and be a welcoming presence in the community? If any of those apply to you, you’re ready to be a greeter on Sunday mornings! We’re hoping to get as many folks as possible involved, so if you’re available even one Sunday this year, reach out to Pastor Adam at **pastoradam@stjohnanchorage.org** and they will get you on the schedule!
**Worship band posts song list on Spotify**
Our praise band literally ROCKS! Do you love singing along with them on Sundays but are not sure how the song goes? Well, now you can practice ahead of time! Our band leaders will be posting Sunday's songs on a Spotify list a few days before worship. You'll need a Spotify account to listen (it's free). Find it .
**Do you have our new church app?**
St. John has a new church app! Find all the important things in one place – current events, our Giving link, the Connect Card, the newsletter, the prayer chain and more.
