What We're Studying
ADVENT 2026 | Advent Can Still Change the World: Bringing Christmas Past into Christmas Present
Starting Sunday, November 29, we'll start a new study on the book and video series, Advent Can Still Change the World: Bringing Christmas Past into Christmas Present.
“Discover the meaning of Christmas in its own time and place."
Christmas is a global celebration wrapped in nostalgia and tradition. The movies we return to each year, the carols we know by heart, and the rituals we repeat connect us to Christmases past and to one another. Yet beneath these familiar layers lies a story rooted in real life, unfolding in a specific time and place. To experience the enduring power of the Christmas story today, we must first understand what it meant then before we can discern what this sacred story offers our own moment.
This four-week Advent study invites you into the historical and cultural world of the nativity narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Explore how the birth of Jesus fulfills Old Testament hopes, revealing God entering human history as the Word made flesh. Guided by Josh Scott, you’ll discover how reading these texts in their original context opens fresh meaning for contemporary faith, illuminating the gifts and challenges of Christmas for our lives today.
Advent is a great time to try a new activity and learn new things and meet new people. Watch a quick one minute intro video with book author Josh Scott.

Orientation Class
Inquire at the Office for Next Class Dates
6:00PM - 7:30PM
“What is special about being a Methodist?” “What is going on at St. John’s?” “Where do I fit in?” These are key questions that newcomers ask about our church and we are having a class to discuss the answers. Visitors and new members are the primary focus for the class, but those who have been around awhile may want to reorient and re-energize themselves by entering the discussion. It's a great place to get to know others at St. John's as well.
The class will take place on four consecutive Sunday evenings in February and March. The first class will start Sunday, February 23, 2025, and we’ll end on Sunday, March 16. We will meet in Rooms 149/151 from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m., get to know each other and discuss the topics of our Christian faith, Methodism, St. John’s, and more.
To register for the class, sign up in the Hospitality Center or contact the church office.
