In addition, the special called congregational meeting at St. John's scheduled for Sunday, March 15, 2020 to discuss the steeple and carillons has been postponed until a later date. Stay tuned for a future date.
On behalf of the Joint Council, we write to notify you of suspension of services. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the safety of our members, we are cancelling our worship services, in-person meetings and other church activities now until April 1, 2020. We will re-assess the situation on April 1, 2020 and provide notification of worship status then.
If you have an emergency or need something that you can’t get out to get (groceries, prescriptions, etc), please let Pastor Sonya know. We have folks willing in both congregations to help out.
Because our expenses continue whether we worship together or not, we ask that you prayerfully continue to tithe weekly or give on-line via our website. You can mail offerings to the church as mail will be checked weekly:
Gravel Springs
PO Box 116
Star Tannery, VA 22654
St John’s
3623 Back Mountain Rd
Winchester, VA 22602
Prayer Chain and Daily Devotions will continue to be distributed. Pastoral visits will be for emergencies only.
Remember to wash your hands frequently and refrain from touching your face. Please take precautions and stay well.
Thank you,
Steve Allamong, Joint Council President
Jack Colvin, Joint Council Vice President
