125 Years of Life As of October 2008, we have entered our 125th year of life. Let's look at what it took for the founders to have a church building for St. John Church. Rev. William Mulford arrived in March of 2004 to serve St. John as an Intentional Interim Pastor. He brought a lot of energy to the position of pastor. He authored the bulletin and experimented with various formats for it. While he was here, we bought a new printer so that we are able to do print jobs ourselves. He served until June 2005 when Tammy Wynn filled our pulpit for several months. We relied on retired U.C.C. pastors, students at Baylor's seminary, and local pastors for pastoral service for several months. Rev. Kathy Fox filled our pulpit for many of those Sundays. January of 2007 Pastor Glenn Kramer, a retired Lutheran pastor, filled our pulpit until August 2007 when Rev. Toni Kracke, a recent Eden Seminary graduate, arrived with her husband, Kermit, to become our next settled pastor. During these last five years, we have added Veteran's Plaques, a bench for the playground, the UCC emblem for the sanctuary, hearing assistance devices, 4 benches for the north rose garden, and banners.
