Calendar News

Fallow the Field

The seasons are changing, and we are in the midst of a time of restoration, of intentionality and purpose, of stillness, of quiet, a time of fallowing.  

It is a time of letting God help us move away from the things that devastate us:  over production, the stones of unjust anger, lack of forgiveness, hard clods of self-centeredness.  

​

Just as the fallowing of the fields promotes rest and renewal, this fallowing of the soul is a time to replenish and renew God’s presence within.  

This is the time to listen deeply to the quiet that is settling all around us and go within, and listen deeply for the possibility of our quieting soul, that yearns for rest, for nourishment, for stillness. 

God’s presence awaits us in the smallest of deepening gestures and elements of love that will percolate to the surface in due time.

Book Group

Meeting around Reading - In order to have book recommendations from the group, we must plan ahead if we want to get the books from the Library.  So please be prepared at the November 30th meeting to discuss your choices for the next read.  We will not meet in December because of the holidays.  But we will then be prepared to get the next book we choose for the January meeting on the 25th, the 4th Thursday of the month.  Cynthia & Lucinda

Funerals

You do not need to be a member of our church to plan this important aspect of the dying and grieving process.

Burial of the Dead is an act of mercy, and St. John’s is active in the ministry of ritual burial.  You do not need be a member of our church, or any church to plan this important aspect of the dying and grieving process at St. John’s.

​

The church seats about 110 people, and we have a full kitchen, tables and chairs in the basement for a reception.  Our worship team will also be part of a graveside service or help scatter the ashes of the departed.

Bapstim Fount

Baptisms

We welcome people of all ages--babies, children, teens, adults, and elders-- to receive the sacrament of Baptism.

Baptism is full initiation, by water and the Holy Spirit, into Christ's Body, the Church. We welcome people of all ages--babies, children, teens, adults, and elders-- to receive the sacrament of Baptism.  The baptismal rite occurs in the middle of the service on Sunday morning, after the sermon and before Communion.  Because Baptism is about joining the community, we do not do private services.

Ceremonies

Cutting the Cake Together

Weddings

We welcome the weddings of same-sex and opposite-sex couples alike. You may also have a civil union blessed.

Thank you for considering having your wedding at St. John’s. Before scheduling a wedding, we ask all couples to come to a Sunday service. There you can meet our clergy and other leadership and experience a typical liturgy.
