Fifth Sunday in Lent
Welcome to St. John's, Troy
March 22, 2026
Dear People of Saint John’s,
This Sunday we celebrate the Fifth Sunday of Lent. I have the privilege of preaching on the raising of Lazarus of Bethany. Now, this is not the only occasion on which Jesus raises someone from to dead. What makes this resurrection so pivotal on this last Sunday before Holy Week? Coffee hour will be provided through the generosity of the Thorburn family. Come!
Looking ahead, we need volunteers to sign up for Coffee Hour for Palm Sunday and beyond Easter. The sign-up sheet is in the Parish hallway. The refreshments need not be elaborate—whatever you would like to supply. Coffee and beverages are provided by the church. Please call the office with your questions.
On Easter Sunday, of course, coffee hour will be more elaborate: deviled eggs, baked goods, cheese and crackers, fruit salad, finger sandwiches, and whatever other specialty items you wish to bring. A special sign-up sheet is in the hall outside the Thompson Room.
Hard copies of Saint John's Herald have arrived, and they are in the Narthex. We are providing the announcements in a separate stack from the bulletins. The announcements are also available in the Thompson Room and 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.
