Dear People of Saint John’s,
Lent is coming soon, and I hope you are looking forward to this holy time of preparation and spiritual renewal!
- Jennifer Firth is preparing our Lenten devotional, with 30 contributors from the parish and 5 from friends around the diocese.
- Hospitality and Children’s Ministries are preparing our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper from 5:30 to 7.
- Thompson Howell is lining up musicians for the Friday Lenten Meditations from 5 to 6 pm (not to mention Easter—stay tuned!).
- We are preparing for Stations of the Cross and soup on Fridays at noon.
- I am preparing our Wednesday evening dinner and film series (more information coming!).
- New Lenten CareNotes are in the rack outside the office.
Our next meeting of the younger adults will be on Sunday, February 23rd at 5 pm in the Thompson Room. This will include dinner and a short film on the relationship between gratitude and happiness featuring Benedictine monk David Steindl-Rast.
This evening, we continue an eight-week online course using the award-winning book, Walk in Love: Episcopal Beliefs and Practices by Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Shobe. For tonight, from 8:30 to 9:30, we will discuss the section on the Trinitarian life: God the Father and the care of creation; God the Son and the restoration of human dignity, and God the Holy Spirit and being strengthened for service. More information can be found in the Winter edition of the newsletter, found here on page 4
With gratitude for our life together,
