The Second Sunday after Epiphany  

January 19, 2025

Dear People of Saint John’s,

This Sunday we celebrate the Second Sunday after Epiphany, and I have the privilege of preaching.  The gospel reading is on the wedding at Cana, where Jesus performed his first sign that he is the Messiah.  What does this richly symbolic action tell us?  Pat Jolie and Peter Brucato will be providing coffee hour—I hope you will come!

Looking ahead, we have openings for volunteers for coffee hour and the Sunday School beginning February 9th. Please call the office to sign up, or put your name on the lists in the hallway.

Choose a passage to write about for our Lenten Devotional, Uniquely John!  This is a great opportunity to engage with a passage of Scripture and share what you come up with.  This is our fourth year doing this, and it always builds faith and community.  More information is here on Saint John’s website.

Troy Area United Ministries (TAUM), founded by former Rector Seymour Flinn, will be sponsoring two events honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: an interfaith service on Sunday, January 19th at 4 pm at Bethel Baptist Church, and a MLK Breakfast at 8 am on Monday, January 20th at the Hilton Garden Inn in Troy.  More information can be found here on the TAUM website.  The office will be closed that day in honor of the holiday.

Pledge envelopes and 2025 ordo calendars are available in the Narthex.  We are providing the announcements in a separate stack from the bulletins. The announcements are also available online. For those of you who will be worshiping with us via live stream, be sure to let us know that you are there through the chat feature, so that we can greet you at the passing of the Peace.

The services and bulletins will be found below. Come join in worship!

With gratitude for our life together,

Mother Judith

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.
