Prayer Vigil – The prayer vigil scheduled for June 4 has been postponed until 5:30 p.m. Friday, June 18 at the Prayer Labyrinth at Lake Prince Woods. The vigil will be a time for us to gather so we can listen to one another, share our hearts, and search for answers from God.

Relaxation of COVID measures – Your Vestry has approved a variety of changes in how we will gather and worship as the COVID-19 pandemic begins to abate. For our worship, we will begin singing (a little) on June 6 and will target being back in the sanctuary on July 4. As we have been absent from the sanctuary for over a year, there are a few items to address before we can worship in a restored space. Your patience is appreciated.
Questions to consider – (1) What gifts have we, as individuals or as a church, been given to share with our community? (2) Who do we have contact with that we can share our church with?
Worship Volunteers – Thank you to Lynn for reading last week during worship.
St. John’s YouTube Channel – As we transition from worshipping in the Parish Hall we will continue to live stream (if possible) and publish recorded worship on our YouTube 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 – Work: Everyone, including Jesus and Martha and Mary, has been called to some fruitful, ordinary work. The work we do is not an end in itself. Our daily tasks, even very good and important ones, are not themselves eternal, and so derive their worth from how much they facilitate our encounter with Jesus, the eternal living God.
