Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. — 1 Corinthians 12.4-7

Bring your pets (live or toy) to a service to commemorate St. Francis' love for all creation. We ask that pets be on leashes. Every pet will receive an individual blessing from one of the clergy, and a St. Francis medallion. We ask that anyone planning on bringing a large animal, such as an elephant, contact the office!
On this special day we remember special saints in our lives who are no longer with us. Families connect with other families and learn about St. John's parishioners who have gone to their greater glory.
Kirkin' means 'churching of the tartan,' and here at St. John's it is a day of celebrating family and community. Complete with bagpipes, Irish dancing, shortbread and soda bread, it is an exciting and fun day. Be sure to bring a favorite tartan to be blessed. Many talented artists make St. John's their home, and following the service, artists are invited to make their works available for sale.
