New Site Features |
First we want to thank those who were a part of the effort to setup St. John's website in the first place! It was a significant effort and is greatly appreciated! That first site served us well for many years but technology changes and we now have the opportunity to have a much more robust site that can change as we change and provide many wonderful opportunities for ministry.
As the site is very new we want to showcase some of the wonderful things we can do with it. There are two main groups who are affected by the change: those who ADD information (the staff of St. John's) and those who USE the information (the members and visitors).
