St. John’s on the Hillside has served Milwaukee since 1848. Homecoming Weekend is an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, remember the people and ministries that have shaped our congregation, and look ahead to the work God is continuing among us.
Members, former members, neighbors, and friends are all invited—especially former members and the children and grandchildren of those who once called St. John’s home.
