ST. JOHN SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT
SCHOOL THEME FOR 2023-2024
“Connected”, John 15:1-5
I Am the True Vine
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the words that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
