Sixth Sunday after Pentecost

Holy Eucharist, Rite II

July 5, 2026

Dear People of Saint John's,

This Sunday we celebrate the Sixth Sunday of Pentecost, and Deacon Paul will be preaching from the Gospel of Matthew. “Come to me, all you that are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Deacon Paul will explain how this relates to us at Saint John’s and our personal lives.

The Thrift Shop has re-opened and it looks wonderful!  While it will be closed this weekend because of the 4th of July holiday, it is back to receiving donations from 9 to noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays when it is open for business.

Saint John’s Christian Education Committee is excited to announce that we will again be providing school backpacks to children in Troy as they return to school in September.  This was a great outreach project last summer, and we know that our parish will again support our effort to supply the necessary materials for children to successfully begin a new school year!

Believe it or not, the stores will soon be starting their “back to school” sales!  These sales are excellent opportunities to fill the supply lists that are listed on the city school district website.  Within the next week or two, a list will be posted by St John’s on the supplies that are requested and important dates for us to meet so that we can fill the backpacks in a timely manner.

Thank you, in advance, for your generous support and be sure to watch this correspondence from the office for further details.

The Summer St. John's Herald is up on the website here and available in the Narthex on Sunday.  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.

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.

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.
