Sunday School News: Spring is a joyful time of year to rejoice in the salvation of
our Savior, not to mention the long awaited warmth and greenery that seems to
have suddenly arrived. This year, Father Alan once again included the children in
a wholesome (yet messy) Easter Service filled with confetti eggs flying through the
pews. Nice toss Fr. Al!!! (see photo below).
Throughout the Spring, the Sunday school will be focusing on parables of
Jesus Christ. These stories are wonderful lessons for our children, and
brought to life through Godly Play. Children are always eager to see what is
inside each of the parable boxes on our shelves. We will be studying these
parables throughout the month of April and into May. Our Sunday school
lessons will be bright and colorful and filled with curiosity of the stories of
Jesus.
St. John’s “Caring for Creation” committee and the Hydrangea Festival are
looking for a few nice gardens available during the Hydrangea Festival in mid
July. St. John’s sponsored 2 gardens last year, and would like to add several more
this summer. At $5 per visitor, this can be a good fund raiser for St. John’s. If you
know of someone who is interested, please notify Steve Tom at 508-685-3735 or
Mary Howe at 774-810-6878 by April 1st.
Fr. Al is on a medical recovery. The Rev. Dr. Philip H. Towner is celebrating with
us this weekend. Please welcome Fr. Phil.
