The location of our noontime gathering is announced in the Sunday Bulletin and we welcome other St John’s men to join us; no dues, no commitment, just fellowship.

Bring a sandwich; desserts and beverages are provided. We are looking forward to an exciting spirit-filled year with inspirational guest speakers and programs. All women are welcome.
