St. John's Lutheran Church in Algonquin invites the community to the launch of a new "Gospel Justice Center" in the McHenry Community. The kickoff event will be Sunday, September 8th at 10:30 am.

The Gospel Justice Center will provide affordable legal advice and coaching for those in need. For only $30, people can book a 45-minute appointment with an attorney to discuss their legal situation, explore their options, and decide on a Next Steps plan. This ministry will provide the help of a lawyer to anyone in need.
Beginning Saturday, September 14, 2024, St. John's Gospel Justice Center will officially open. The center will be open for appointments once a month on the 2nd Saturday of the month from 9:00 am – 11:00 am.
