Fifth Sunday of Easter 

Holy Eucharist, Rite II

May 3, 2026

Dear People of Saint John’s,

This Sunday we celebrate the Fifth Sunday of Easter.  I am back in the pulpit following two impossible acts!  It is my privilege to preach on John 14, from Jesus's farewell discourse. As they celebrate their last supper together, why should their hearts not be troubled? Let's listen together.  Coffee hour is provided through the generosity of Chris and Rich Salmon--do come!

Henry Frueh, preacher extraordinaire, has written us a lovely note:

Dear Friends,

               “I thank my God every time I remember you…”  (Philippians 1:3).  These words of the Apostle Paul capture my gratitude for what the people and the ministries of St. John’s have meant to me while serving as your Spiritual Director in Residence the past couple of years.  I would be hard-pressed to name a church of comparable size that offers as wide an array of ministries that both nurture the congregation and serve the community as does St. John’s.  In both Mother Judith and Deacon Paul, you have extraordinary leadership and a dependable and caring pastoral presence.  The rest of the church staff serve this church with abundant talent, dedication, and humility.  It’s been a delight to be in ministry with all of them.  The Bereavement Group holds a special place in my heart and displays the support and love for one another found in every corner of this parish.

                My common way of describing St. John’s and its people to others is that it is a “church of a giant heart.”  You are the presence of Christ in this world – thank you for the opportunity to have been a part of it during this time in my life.

Blessings of peace to you always,

Henry Frueh

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.
