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

THANK YOU to all who joined us for the repeat presentation by Dr. Timothy Orwig, author of Cape Cod Canal, and Professor at Boston College, charting the history of the canal and its impact on everything Cape Cod. Tim’s January presentation on this topic, part of our Caring for Creation Series, was so well attended that we offered it a second time.

CONCERT SERIES NEWS: Be sure to catch the next concert on Saturday, August 15 at 6:30, under the tent in the back yard, with the Cape Cod Ukulele Club. Enjoy great food, good company, pop-to-bluegrass music, and take a chance on our golf raffle or 50-50 raffle.

Caring for Creation - August 1/2

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

Between the Fires by Rabbi Arthur Waskow
We are the generation that stands
between the fires:
Behind us the flame and smoke
that rose from Auschwitz and from Hiroshima;
From the burning forests of the Amazon,
From the hottest years of human history
that bring upon us
Melted ice fields, Flooded cities, Scorching droughts.
Before us the nightmare of a Flood of Fire,
The heat and smoke that could consume all Earth.
….

It is our task to make from fire not an all-consuming blaze
But the light in which we see each other fully.
All of us different, All of us bearing
One Spark.
We light these fires to see more clearly
That the Earth and all who live as part of it
Are not for burning.
We light these fires to see more clearly
The rainbow in our many-colored faces.
Blessed is the One within the many.
Blessed are the many who make One.

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