Sunday Worship – We will simulcast Holy Communion at 10:30 for those who will continue to participate remotely. Please contact the Rector to pick up pre-consecrate elements for at-home Communion if you would like. The link to worship on our YouTube channel at: https://youtu.be/VDrr9DleyI0.
Zoom Coffee Hour – Terry dropped in from Boise ID during our last coffee hour. It was nice to see her and chat with her. Our next virtual coffee hour will be next Sunday. Join us to see who else might drop in and say hi. Joining instructions will be provided by separate correspondence.
Worship Volunteers – Thank you to Marcella for reading last week during worship.
Upcoming Red Cross Blood Drive – We are hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive on May 18 from 2:00 – 7:00 pm in the Parish Hall. Our goal is 25 donations during the drive.

Flowers on the Altar – While we may not be worshipping in person, there are flowers on the altar during the worship service. Please volunteer to sponsor flowers by contacting the office. The first available dates are: June 27 & July 4.
Returning to the Sanctuary – As the Coronavirus pandemic requirements evolve, we will return to the Sanctuary soon. There are some logistics we need to address regarding internet connectivity and remote worship. There will be future announcements as the day gets closer.
St. John’s YouTube Channel – As part of our practice during the COVID-19 Social Distancing time we created a YouTube Channel. For the moment, we share worship videos (both live stream and pre-recorded), but in the future we will connect classes and other offerings on the Channel. Our channel URL is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2QWNHHKVPYpp8mKcveYd5A
Soles-for-Souls – There is a collection box to help this worthy cause in the parish hall. Consider giving gently used or new shoes for those in need. For more information see their website: www.soles4souls.org.
Thought for the week – Suffering: The Resurrection does not exempt us from the suffering that is the lot of every human being, the suffering that was the lot of Jesus in sharing our humanity. The Resurrection is the unbreakable pledge that our suffering can become like his.
– Br. Keith Nelson, SSJE
