Join us for Worship

WELCOME

St. John’s is a community called by Christ to grow spiritually and make known God’s love through word and deed in our congregation and in the broader world.

We are a compassionate community of faith coming from all walks of life and life-styles and invite you to join us for the heart of our life together—Worship.

Faith, inspiration and formation come in many forms at St. John’s. It’s through worship services, music, a sermon or a conversation with God, through hospitality and fellowship, and through participation in our ministries. We put our faith into action by giving back to God what has been given to us and by helping our neighbors.

Whoever you are, wherever you are on your faith journey, we invite you to join us

Caring for Creation- February 22/23

DAILY LIVING PRACTICES TO CARE FOR CREATON

During January, February, and March we focus on the importance of water in our Caring for Creation section. Likewise, as we approach the start of Lent, we are reminded of our own baptism by water that calls us to a change of heart, to be a source of living, that is life giving water for our world and each other. May we see conservation of water as the new Lenten way of fasting for those of us who have enough. May we find ways to give clean water to those who are thirsty.

Quotation for your Meditation

“The whole earth is a living icon of the face of God.”

St. John of Damascus

Suggestions for Personal Action

On January 6, 2021, the feast of the Epiphany, the Orthodox Church of America released a film entitled The Face of God. It is found at this link:

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7wdRr1pFLM).

In the spirit of the quotation above from St. John of Damascus the film underscores that nature is sacred. “It is how God dresses.” As the season of Lent continues may we experience the repentance, the change of heart, that is necessary to re-order our relationship to nature in some specific way: use less water; avoid plastics and single use containers; reduce consumption of meat; increase plant-based nutrition, etc.

Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.
