💜 Self-Care Matters 💜

In a world that constantly demands our time and energy, it is important to remember that self-care is not selfish—it is essential.

Jesus often stepped away from the crowds to pray, rest, and renew His spirit. We are called to do the same.

Take time to rest. Pray. Spend time with loved ones. Enjoy God’s creation. Care for your mind, body, and spirit.

When we take care of ourselves, we are better able to care for others and serve God faithfully.

“Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” — Mark 6:31

Take a moment this week to do something that brings you peace and joy. You are worth it. 💜

Happy Father’s Day from St. John’s MCC!

Today, we celebrate and honor all fathers—those who lead, love, guide, and support their families with strength and compassion.

We also want to recognize and uplift the single mothers who fill both roles—
who show up every day with courage, sacrifice, and unconditional love. You are seen, appreciated, and deeply valued.

Your strength reflects a love that is patient, kind, and unwavering.

On this special day, we celebrate all who nurture, protect, and pour into the lives of others.

Enjoy your day and be thankful for the blessings of family.
You are a blessing. You are appreciated. You are loved.

At St. John’s MCC, we celebrate Juneteenth as a powerful reminder of freedom, faith, and unity.

We honor the moment in Galveston when freedom was finally declared, connected to the legacy of the Emancipation Proclamation. But for us, it’s not just history—it’s a living message.

⸻

What Juneteenth Means to Us

* We celebrate freedom—not just in history, but in our lives today
* We honor the strength and resilience of those who came before us
* We recognize that God’s love is for everyone
* We stand firm in our belief that all are welcomed, loved, and accepted

⸻

How We Celebrate

* Worship filled with praise, gratitude, and reflection
* Fellowship that brings people together in love and community
* Remembering and sharing the meaning of Juneteenth National Independence Day
* Praying for justice, healing, and unity

⸻

A Message from the Heart

Juneteenth reminds us that even when freedom is delayed, God is still moving.

At St. John’s MCC, we don’t just celebrate freedom—
we live it, we share it, and we invite others into it.

“We hear What would Jesus do? a lot—but the real power of that question is when it becomes personal.”

When you think about Jesus Christ, it’s not just about a phrase—it’s about a way of living. So how does it relate to you?

It shows up in everyday moments:

* When someone hurts you → Jesus chose forgiveness, even when it was hard.
* When you see someone struggling → He showed compassion, not judgment.
* When you feel alone or overwhelmed → He leaned on prayer and trusted God.
* When it’s easier to stay silent → He stood up for what was right, even when it cost Him.

“What would Jesus do?” isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being intentional. It’s a pause. A moment to ask:

👉 Am I choosing love right now?
👉 Am I showing grace instead of anger?
👉 Am I helping instead of turning away?

For you, it might look like:

* Checking on someone who’s been on your mind
* Offering kindness when it’s not deserved
* Letting go of something that’s weighing your heart down
* Trusting God even when you don’t understand the situation

At the end of the day, it’s not about having all the answers—it’s about reflecting His heart in the way you live, speak, and treat others.

It becomes less of a question… and more of a lifestyle.
