Our first annual St. John's Rahway Marathon was a success! We collectively completed the 26-mile Marathon and then our families enjoyed a time of fun, food, football, and fellowship. If anyone still needs to turn in pledges, please see Larissa Lee. So far, we have collected over $200s for the Sunday School.
