Ugandan Clergy Children's Scholarships

Ugandan Clergy Children's Scholarships

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Oyster Roaster Fundraiser last Saturday. Thanks to your generous donations, we raised $9115, which is enough to pay for 45 scholarships for Ugandan clergy children. Praise the Lord!

This means we are two-thirds of our way to our goal of raising 75 scholarships by the end of March. Please prayerfully consider donating to help support our Ugandan brothers and sisters in Christ.

Men's Group Starts New Study

Men's Group Starts New Study

The Thursday evening Men's Group is having a study February 6 - March 20. Led by Sam Gervais and Heath Gunther, they are reading through J-Curve by Paul E. Miller. 

The J-Curve maps the ups and downs of daily life onto the story of Jesus. It grounds our journeys, not in some abstract idea, but in union with Christ and his work of love. Understanding our lives in light of the J-Curve roots our hope, centers our love, and tethers our faith to Christ.

For more information, contact Heath Gunther.

Lay Eucharistic Ministers

Lay Eucharistic Ministers

Life doesn't always allow us to take part in the Holy Eucharist in a church setting. Because of this, Bishop Edgar and Fr Jeremy authorized the Lay Eucharistic Ministers to take the Eucharist to those who are physically unable to attend a regular church service.

This is a blessed ministry. The Lay Eucharistic Ministers experience the Lord’s presence in a special way as He uses us to minister to those who we have missed in our congregation. He allows us to share his presence with those who need to know that He hasn’t forgotten them, and St John's Parish Church still considers them to be an important part of our family.

 If you'd like to serve, please contact Fr. Jeremy.

A Prayer for our Parish

Dear Heavenly Father,

Together we are united with the saints of the household of God; built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. In Christ alone our church is being joined together, and is growing into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. By Your wisdom may we discern what You want us to build; Through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
