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 June 8-15

DAILY LIVING PRACTICES TO CARE FOR CREATION

 During April, May, and June we focus on the importance of earth/soil in our Caring for Creation section.  The new life of Easter helps us undertake little resurrections in the broken parts of ourselves and the world.

Quotation for your Meditation

“The single greatest lesson the garden teaches is that our relationship to the planet need not be zero-sum, and that as long as the sun still shines and people still can plan and plant, think and do, we can, if we bother to try, find ways to provide for ourselves without diminishing the world.”

Michael Pollan in The Omnivore’s Dilemma

Suggestions for Personal Action

Increase plant-based protein in your diet and reduce animal-based protein to lower your impact on the environment.  Go to the following link:

Concerts moved into the church in the event of rain. Bring family and friends for evenings of music from some of the best musicians on the Cape. If you would like to offset the cost of entertainment, please place your donation in the offering plate. In the memo line, please write “Concert Series” or drop off a check to the Parish Office. St. John’s is looking for volunteers to help staff each concert. We already have the choir and also the vestry hosting two concerts in July. Thank you and let’s get ready for some fun great music!

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