St. John's Chapel UCC

St. John's Chapel UCC St. Come see us! Sundays: Worship 10:30. We believe in a God that is still speaking, a God that is all-loving and inclusive.

John's Chapel is an official open and affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ that offers an extravagant welcome and strives to follow the ways of Jesus and the love he taught us to have! Since 1957, the United Church of Christ has been the church of firsts, weaving God's message of hope and extravagant welcome with action for justice and peace. We are a church that welcomes and acce

pts everyone as they are, where your mind is nourished as much as your soul. We are a church where Jesus the healer meets Jesus the revolutionary, and where together, we grow a just and peaceful world. No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you're welcome here to explore your faith, to meet new people, and to strengthen your personal relationship with God.

For four weeks now, I've offered lunch on Wednesdays. No catch, no gimmicks, no price to pay. Just good food and connection.

At a time where there has been deep division and polarization, it has been such a gift to just simply share lunch with others, connect and just be.

Join me (and hopefully others) this Wednesday. Bring yourself, a friend, a neighbor, somebody you just met.

Seriously, come on. Take a break, come by. There will be something for everyone. Salad and baked potatoes-many dressing choices and toppings. 12-3.

Hope to see you there,
Pastor Stephanie

4344 S. Fremont, Springfield, MO

Pull into the first drive, go to the back of the building, through the double doors that are by the playground, second door on the left. I hope to see you there.

For tomorrow’s free lunch (Wednesday), I’ll be putting together some charcuterie.

That’s right. Adult Lunchables. We have ascended.

Meats, cheeses, fruits, veggies, crackers, snacks, and other little gifts from heaven itself. Divine grazing.

Stop by anytime between 12–3, grab some lunch, connect with people, breathe for a minute, and just exist.

No, there’s no catch.
No, I’m not going to make you join the church.
No, I’m not going to corner you with a salvation speech while you grab a grape. 
No requirements. No pressure. No hidden agenda.

Just free food, good people, and a place to relax for a while. Because sometimes the world can feel heavy and unfriendly, and you just need good food and community.

Feel free to bring a friend, my coworker, family, someone to meet on the street.

I hope to see you there.

Quiches are about to go in the oven. One is with turkey, bacon, spinach, smoked Gouda and tomatoes. The other is vegetarian. Salad is made, yogurt and berries ready to go, blackberry sage tea is brewing.

Join me and (hopefully others!) for lunch.

Nope, there is no catch.

Just lunch and people connecting. Bring a friend if you want. 12-3.

Today for lunch, I'll be making a batch of homemade vegetable soup. All are welcome to swing by from 12-3.

I'm hoping you'll join me and others for a simple time of sharing a meal and connecting. No catch, no hidden agenda, no requirements. Seriously.

Let's just hang out.

There's such a joy that can overcome you when you walk out the back door of the church and see this goodness on the back lot. What once used to be a vacant lot, that was occasionally used, is now home to Osage Prairie Farm. Springfield Community Gardens and SJC Community Garden are back here hard at work. Planning, planting and plotting to feed people good things.
