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 - July 11th and 12th

DAILY LIVING PRACTICES TO CARE FOR CREATON

During July and August we focus on the importance of fire/sun/energy in our Caring for Creation activities. Simultaneously, the season of Pentecost reminds us that the Spirit blows where it will.  The Spirit sustains all that is true, good and beautiful wherever it may be found and by whomever it may be done. Traditional representations of the disciples on Pentecost show them with tongues of flame above their heads indicating their internal change and sense of purpose.

Quotation for your Meditation

“It is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it.” Our most serious problem, perhaps, is that we have become a nation of fantasists.  We believe, apparently, in the infinite availability of finite resources.”                    Wendell Berry

Suggestions for Personal Action

The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center provides helpful information on various forms of clean energy *(https://goclean.masscec.com/resources/). On the website you will find an Introduction to the Clean Energy Home as well as a Residential Guide to Solar Electricity.  From there you can learn about energy saving forms of heating, cooking, producing hot water, travelling by electrical vehicles, etc., etc.  Along the way you will also learn about financial incentives and rebates.

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

Matthew 13:1-2
