There are many opportunities to serve at St. John’s worship services. No seminary required! A willing heart and some training will equip you to enter a rewarding ministry of service. They are all important.
At Saint John's, we take seriously the notion that all of us are members of God's beloved community, even the very young. Just as Jesus modeled listening to children and youth, and calling them to lead, we center the needs and gifts of our children.
The Youth at St. John's have recently been pondering the question, What does it mean to be an Episcopalian?
Jesus was an Episcopalian. Not really! But, we do know he was deeply rooted in the same theology we are aspiring to learn. We're taking the gifts we have to further our understanding of what it means to be an Episcopalian and live our lives as God intended.
Writer's Workshop
Writer's Workshop, was an informal gathering of committed scribblers, completed twelve separate sessions. With a beverage and some goodies from the Hospitality tables in hand, we would gather, begin a quick writing lesson in basic style, discuss our warm-up work, and then disperse for 40 to 45 minutes of quiet, uninterrupted writing on individual projects. Some wrote about events in their lives; some wrote for journaling; some wrote on whatever was on their minds that day. After our lengthy writing session, we had another brief discussion, and packed up for the day.
This month we highlight Mary Angotti's submission:

Bible Study meets every Wednesday morning from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Vicenti Hall. We begin the morning with fellowship and prayer. We then turn to the gospel text appointed for the upcoming Sunday. The time spent studying our Holy Scriptures together and connecting to others truly is sacred space. Whoever is available after Bible Study ends continue the fellowship by going out for lunch at a local restaurant.
