SPECIAL MISSION RECOGNITION has been awarded to Jennie and John Starr by Carmen Williams for: 1) bringing  many of the wonderful young men who are a part of Howard football team, as well as a number of other young men and women to church each Sunday, and 2) for the thousands of meals that they’ve prepared for the Brainerd area. Thank you and many blessings! 

Special Mission Recognition has been awarded to Deanna Prather by Saundra Vetterick. She is a faithful member of the UMW. She works so hard as one or our Staff Team here at St. John. She has, of course, always had great value in the eyes of THE LORD and her St. John family. During the pandemic, however, DeAnna’s gifting and skill-set—with all things communication and digital media—have absolutely revealed the depth of her gifting as a valued part of her Kingdom Community. Thank you, Deanna!
