Stewardship: Please Turn in Your Pledge Card for 2012
If you haven't yet pledged your time, talent, and treasure to St. John's for 2012, please do so. As you consider your commitment to St. John's, keep in mind the prayer "All things come of thee O Lord, and of thine own have we given thee." It is for each of us to determine how we commit the bounty given to us to support those things which are priorities in our lives. With your pledge, please continue to make St. John's a priority in your life.
It's now possible to fill out your pledge card online, here at the St. John's website. Do it today!
Living the Questions
Got questions? Then please join us on Wednesday evenings during Epiphany for Living the Questions, a DVD and web-based small group study that steps beyond the traditions and rote theologies that seem to characterize so many Christians and churches. Discover the significance of Christianity in the 21st century and what a meaningful faith can look like in today's world.
The course is divided into three seven-week modules, and we'll complete the first module, Invitation to Journey, this winter at St. John's. We'll meet January 11th-February 22nd (Ash Wednesday), 6:30-8:30 p.m., in the St. Francis-St. Clair Room. Each evening will include a simple shared meal of soup and bread, followed by a video, guided discussion, spiritual exercises, and Bible study. This is a great way to explore your faith, whether you're a lifelong Episcopalian or you're on the road to confirmation.
For more information or to register, contact Bill Ashworth or Janice Moore.
