Search Committee Update
Last week, as announced on Sunday 11/3, the Vestry named Rich Gage and Laura Singer as co-chairs of the Rector Search committee.
Next steps: The Vestry and the Search Committee co-chairs, Rich Gage and Laura Singer, will be meeting with our diocesan transition minister at the Nov. 20, 2024 Vestry meeting at 7:15 p.m. All are welcome to attend that meeting to hear what the diocese shares with us. Use this link to attend on Zoom. We also meet in person.
The Vestry and Co-chairs will meet again in December to plan and develop the self-nominating process for the St. John’s Search Committee.
For questions or more information, please contact Rich Gage at richardgage51@sbcglobal.net or Laura Singer at laura.t.singer@gmail.com.
In the meantime, please pray with us:
God, please help us set aside
Everything we think we know about You,
Everything we think we know about ourselves,
Everything we think we know about others,
And everything we think we know about
St. John’s, so we may have open minds
And new experiences with these
Things and come to know You
Better. Please help us see the truth.
Amen

Lenten Soup and Bread Dinner
The Parish Life Committee is sponsoring two Lenten Soup and Bread Dinners during Lent.
Please join the St. John’s community in the Parish Hall for two Fridays during Lent, March 14 and March 21, for a soup and bread dinner. We will have a different member of St. John’s serve as our leader, helping us come together in prayer and dine together in fellowship.
The Lenten Soup and Bread Dinner will be a free event. We will begin with prayer at 6 pm and then soup, bread, cheese, and apple slices will be served.
