NEW offering
Sunday Forum
On Sunday mornings, from 9 am until 10 am we are hosting a forum through the Zoom format on the computer to discuss issues of the week in light of the Gospel. Asking questions, "What is God doing and where can we see God at work in the current events?", "What are issues that we might be overlooking, but might be very important in the long run in light of God's work?"
"What and how might we learn something different, or be renewed in light of current circumstances in the world?"
We send out invitations for this event. If you are not receiving one and would like one, please email us and we will gladly put you on the list. stjohnsinthomaston@gmail.com

Site Content
Additional Information
This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
