The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
October 19, 2025
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus shares the story of a widow who keeps showing up, asking for justice. Her persistence is a picture of prayer that doesn’t quit—faith that keeps knocking when the door feels shut. God hears those who cry out day and night, and invites us to endure in hope until justice and mercy break through.

Stewardship 2025: Testimonial
Shared during worship on October 12 by Tammy Martinez
Tammy Martinez shared her story of faith and gratitude during worship on October 12 as part of our Stewardship 2025 series. She reflected on a life shaped by the rhythm of worship — from tambourines and hymns to twelve years of belonging at St. John’s — and reminded us that stewardship is not just about keeping the lights on, but keeping the light in. Every act of giving, serving, teaching, or praying moves the story of God’s love forward in this place.
“We don’t give out of guilt. We give out of gratitude — not duty, but devotion. Not obligation, but overflow.”
