Dear People of Saint John's,
The Blessing of the Animals will be this Saturday at 10 a.m. in the garden—rain or shine. Come bring you furry, feathered, or scaly friends—even a picture will do—for a blessing in the beautiful garden!
This Saturday is also our monthly food pantry. Come on Friday to help bring in food around 10, and return on Sunday at 9:45 to greet our neighbors and share great fresh produce and essential toiletries.
The Capital English Country Dancers (CECD) resume this Sunday, October 5th, from 2 to 5 pm. These monthly intergenerational English dances are on the first Sunday of the month October–May. Live music, all dances taught; beginners, singles, and couples are welcome. Beginner workshop at 1:30 PM, dance at 2 PM. Regular Dances: $15, $12 CECD Members (Membership: $15) Ice Cream Sunday: $17, $14 CECD Members (includes ice cream sundaes), Season Ticket: $88
The diocesan Men's Retreat, "Marked: Jesus' Own Forever" will take place at Christ the King Center November 7th and 8th. The Keynote speaker will be the Rev. Joe Gibbes. Whether you are new to the faith or have journeyed with Jesus for a lifetime, this is an opportunity to explore what it means to belong to Jesus Christ. More information can be found here.
Christian Education for adults has resumed. Of special interest is a Newcomers Class, which will begin mid-October and run for 6 weekly sessions, according to the schedule of participants. Please be in touch with me so that we can coordinate this introduction to faith and to our parish.
Our Saturday morning The Chosen group will enjoy the acclaimed series on the life of Jesus, and our Sunday morning Bible Study has resumed its series with N.T. Wright on worldviews. We explore the worldview of the New Testament, as challenging to ancient civilizations as it is to the world today.
With gratitude for our life together,
Mtr. Judith
