A Word From Pastor Jaime

Picture
Tuesday, March 30
 
Greetings from a distance, St. John’s family! I pray you are well and continuing to observe safety measures. I think you would agree that this isn’t much fun. Let’s pray we can see each other soon. We were created by God to live in community. Enough said!
 
My weekend was fairly uneventful. I continue to get up and walk around the house several times a day and to do my exercises in bed as much as I can. Tomorrow morning—Tuesday—I see the surgeon for the first time since surgery. I’m excited to see what the next steps will be in the journey toward recovery.
 
I hope you had the opportunity to join us for worship yesterday. The Staff continues to do a great job. I know we have been blessed as a family!
 
In me desire to remain connected with the church I’m honored to lead, I have decided to post two brief segments a week online with reflections. I have titled these “Honest to God.” These will be available on the church’s website every Tuesday and Friday. Make sure to visit www.stjohns-sarasota.com.
 
Thanks for being the church. Please continue to check the website periodically for updates and information. Don’t forget that we continue in ministry. Call if we can be of help or encouragement. Let’s continue,
 
Serving All. Following One.
