Sunday, March 28th - Palm/Passion Sunday (we’ll call it “passion Sunday” ’cause we’re going to […]
Dear St. John’s Church Family,
Much has happened since I wrote to you last Thursday!! Storms here and earthquakes “there!” Postponed Public Suppers and “presumed” worship cancellations (which really didn’t happen)!

Lenten Greetings to you, my Friends,
Last evening we began the “Journey of Hope” which will take us to the foot of the cross of Christ, and beyond. May these next few weeks be significant in your journey of faith. Won’t you plan to be in at worship if you’re in town, and not ill? Won’t […]
Hello My Friends,
No snow - how’s that strike you? I think it’s wonderful to hear how “no snow” rests with different folks. It witnesses to the diversity of people around us - which is a great metaphor for the church, which is made up of people possessing many and various gifts - all for the […]
