The LOFT (Living Our Faith Together) is our adult faith formation space.

The LOFT meets most Sundays at 9:00 am.
Coffee and tea are provided!

Activity Room (Downstairs)

What does it mean to be a person of faith in this time? Where do we go with our questions, our doubts, our hunches, our wisdom, and our longings? How can we try on new ideas and new practices to grow our Christian faith and deepen our capacity to live in a moment such as this? What traditions can we lean on to become more grounded and resilient and faithful? Are there places where we can receive support while supporting others?

Living Our Faith Together (aka The LOFT) is a new space to live into the questions and deepen our spiritual practices. It builds on the St. John’s tradition of Adult Sunday School and Adult Bible Study, and offers opportunities for adult faith formation and occasional intergenerational engagement.

From Generation to Generation…

December 14: Christmas Show and Tell
At this time of year, our thoughts often turn to past Christmas seasons. Memories of happy times spent with friends and loved ones can brighten our spirits and enhance the joy of celebrating Jesus’ birth. Bring your photos and special mementoes to share as we “Show and Tell” our Christmas memories.

December 21: Re-Membering Christmas – Singing Our Way Through
It’s so easy to get caught up in the consumerism and competition of Christmas – who can buy the best gifts, who makes the biggest spread. In addition, Christmas can be a time of relational strain – isolation or family division. In our short time, we will share favorite Christmas carols and look at the history of some of the beloved favorites.
