Dear church members and friends of St. John's,
Mary Sterner, our Director of Christian Education, just gave birth to a beautiful blond haired baby girl, 3 pounds, 14 ounces, 17 inches long, named Mallory. May the Lord bless Mary and her husband, Sean, as they welcome Mallory into their home, and we look forward to welcoming her into our church family!
You are invited to our Ash Wednesday Service this Wednesday, February 22, at 7 pm in the sanctuary. If weather permits, we will conclude the service in the courtyard. Next Sunday is the First Sunday in Lent. May the Lord be with us all as we anticipate the beginning of this holy season.
The Lenten Study is now full as we have 10 participants which is the limit suggested by the author in order for the weekly exercises to be most effective. Participants may pick up their book from me this Sunday. If you have wanted to take this course but haven't spoken to me yet, let me know and I'll put your name on a list for next time. If the study turns out to be any good, we may do it again soon and you can do it then.
Rev. Linda Herron will be preaching this Sunday while I assist with my usual parts of the liturgy. Linda's sermon is from Mark 9: 2-9 and is titled Whirlwinds and Dazzling Light. Let us gather to hear God's Word proclaimed as we celebrate Transfiguration of the Lord Sunday.
Here is a link to the latest Beacon.
Peace,
The Rev. Dr. Jonathan L. Burnham
