A message from the Elders at StJoeCofC
- If you are experiencing any symptoms, or not feeling well, please stay home.
- To help with social distancing, please leave an empty chair or two, in between family groups.
- We the elders are reminding everyone to show grace and love towards others during this. This is not a time to complain or argue, but an opportunity to show Christ-like attitudes.
- Please do not police others in their personal choice to wear a mask or not. Yet please do be respectful to all.
- Our Sunday school classes will not be starting up as planned. We will also be giving more information this week regarding our jr church policy and procedure.
Through all of this, let us remember Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

The ministry currently consists of the Plus One Program which is a residential/non-residential Christ-centered recovery program, The Cupbearer Cafe, Living Waters Farmers Marketplace which includes a Thrift Store, Farmers Market & Garden Center, Plus ONE Vocational Auto Repair Shop, Upword Living Bookstore, and Behind The Walls prison ministry.
