Dear Friends
Our St. John's "In person worship" for this Sunday September 25th is being held in St. Paul's Presbyterian Church at 9am. Please park in St. John's parking lot and west of Prescott Street so that we don't overlap the parking of St. Paul's members or their service that follows ours. For those that have mobility issues and need the ramp you may park near the back entrance to St. Paul's. We encourage everyone to continue masking, if you are able, in an effort to protect the most vulnerable and high-risk members of our church family. We will have a recording of this service on our Youtube channel by noon as we cannot livestream from St. Paul's. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiCSQR6NbG9_u7FSY7hrAow

The Vision Working Group will begin interviewing members of the congregation this month.

"Imagine St. John's" - Can you imagine St. Johns in 5 or 10 years? Who are we becoming, what do you see for us as a community of faith , and where do we feel called? If questions like these intrigue or inspire you, we would be pleased to welcome you to join a working group to inquire into our church vision. The purpose of this small group is to design the process and lead the inquiry. That may include consultation with other members of the congregation. We anticipate the group would prepare a proposal to bring back to the church community for consideration. Your interest and enthusiasm are the only requirements. People of all ages, backgrounds, and years with the church are welcome. If you are interested, please contact Jennifer Gow, Ron Patterson or Rev. Lynda.
"Listening Ear" - our Worship committee has a list of members who would love to lend a listening ear to anyone who needs to hear a friendly voice over the phone. Please call or email the office so Helen can add you to their list of members who need a call. We also have volunteers willing to deliver groceries.
