“Let your light shine…(to) give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
— Matthew 5:16
Jesus calls us to shine his light everywhere. At SJD, we believe Christ chooses each church member to represent him, especially to those who don't know his love or are in need. We love Houston and strive to be brighter lights for the Gospel. Are you ready to Go?

Snow cone Mondays just got a fall makeover! We're Loving Lamar with Popcorn Mondays at St. John the Divine! After school, students can chill in the shade, grab some free popcorn, and meet friendly faces while they wait for their ride. St. John the Divine is loving Lamar by making spaces for students and sharing kindness. We need your help to make this happen! Sign up to volunteer for one or more Mondays.
