Midweek News

Dear People of Saint John's,

Our next Community Breakfast, is June 13, 2026, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.  Join us in the gym for our much-requested community breakfast. We will be serving pancakes,  scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausages, coffee, juice, and waffles!  We need baked goods, fruit salad, and volunteers.  Sign-up sheets are in the narthex and outside the Thompson Room. We look forward to seeing you!

The Thrift Shop has announced that it is closed on Wednesday, June 17^th and Saturday, June 20^th.  As previously noted, they are not taking any more donations until July.  They are overseeing a major cleaning effort, and the volunteers cannot process additional donations until then.  But do put them aside; they look forward to receiving your donations then.

In just a couple of weeks, the diocese will be having a tent revival on Thursday evening June 19th, at 7 p.m., featuring former Presiding Bishop Michael Curry as preacher.  Yes, a tent revival in the Episcopal Church: believe it, mark your calendars, and come!  The revival is free, but at 5 p.m. that evening there will be a dinner, for which you will need tickets.  More information can be found here.

My last Sunday will be on June 28^th.  Lovely things are being planned: children and others will be taking liturgical roles, the music will be wonderful, and a great brunch is being planned in the gym afterwards.  There are elements to this final liturgy that one only gets to see on this occasion.  Please mark your calendars, and come--I would love to see you!

The final hymn on that Sunday may not be familiar, since it is usually sung at Evening Prayer.  Here it is, in case you would enjoy hearing it in advance:  The Day that Thou Gavest.
