Fourth Sunday in Lent

March 19, 2023

Dear People of Saint John’s,

This Sunday, as we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Lent, we will continue to revisit our more ancient liturgies by using Rite One. This Rite speaks to us from a more penitential time in our church history, and so is well suited for the season of Lent. I am privileged to preach on the man born blind, one of the three essential passages used in preparing catechumens for baptism in the ancient church. We are celebrating March birthdays at coffee hour. Please come!

We have many offerings this Lent to help us draw nearer to God. Today at noon, we will walk the Stations of the Cross, led by Deacons Sandy and Bill Tatem. Later this afternoon, come join us for our Candlelight Meditations from 5 to 6. This evening our musician will be Tiffany Dzembo, whose selections will feature things of Irish origin in honor of Saint Patrick. And we have a lavender candle for you to prolong your meditation at home.

Tomorrow, the Saturday Bible Study continues with “The Chosen,” the acclaimed crowd-funded film series on the life of Jesus, at 10:30 in the Thompson Room. On Sunday Eileen Manz continue her series on Jesus’ vision for mission at 9 a.m. in the Library, and on Tuesday, Gail Richardson continues her study on the book of Acts, which has been called the Christian adventure book of the Bible, on Zoom. Be in touch with the office for the link.

Supper and film on Forgiveness, Wednesdays in March, 6 to 8 pm

What to Look For (to Send a Chat)

Once you are viewing the live stream by pressing the link above, there should be a "conversation" to the right of the stream (Top Chat). Like this:

Messages populate from the bottom of the box. You add your message by typing on the "Say something..." line and pressing Enter (or clicking/tapping on the right-pointed arrow under your message). Other messages that come in after yours will file in underneath yours in the running chat above the entry line.

If you're watching the live stream in full screen mode, you'll need to find the chat box. This might be found using the arrow at the bottom center of the screen under the red line. You'll have to click or tap on the screen to see this option, similar to when you want to pause or change the volume, etc.

See that little white down arrow/carat under the red line and Scroll for details? If you tap on that, the screen pulls up, and you see the chat box. You may need to scroll up further to see the "Say something" line.

 Sunday Liturgy will be available on YouTube after the conclusion of the 10 am service.
