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

This important pastoral and liturgical ministry is offered by adult lay members of the congregation who are certified by the diocese. In order to be certified, Eucharistic Visitors must complete Safe Church training, be nominated by their priest and attend a diocesan-approved training. Trainings are scheduled in each region of the diocese, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on: • April 26 at Grace Church in Medford; • May 3 at St. David’s Church in South Yarmouth; and • May 10 at the Church of Our Redeemer in Lexington. Please see Fr. Al for more information.

Caring for Creation- March 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

“In our key farming states, underground water is being mined for irrigation much faster than nature can replace it. Note that to produce a pound of beef takes 1,800 gallons of water — nearly 50 times more than a pound of vegetables.”

Francis Moore Lappe, author Diet for a Small Planet in the Boston Globe September 17, 2021.

It is good for you and good for the planet.

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