Stewardship Note: Have you met St. John’s Garden Angel (as opposed to our guardian angel)? He mows the grass and trims every week, and has been known to show up early to remove ice and snow when the weather is bad. Children often mistake him for his friend Santa Claus, and he attends our 8 am service. Tell our angel Steve thanks if you see him. Did you notice that our doors front and back have been painted? Many thanks to our volunteer and Junior Warden John Eyeman, who is also the owner of Heritage Painting LLC. His research allowed us to select the historically accurate color for the front doors, “Chinese Red,” which is the same color used for historic accents and portals at Colonial Williamsburg.
The New Parish Directories are available at the back of the Church. One per family please. Thanks to Schyler, Jean, Carole, and everyone who helped to make this update possible. Let us know if there are corrections or additions which need to be made. A directory is always an ongoing project.
Vocations Needed: Ladies, have you ever considered serving on the altar guild? It is a sacred responsibility to care for the holy things of God and to prepare the church for worship. Is God calling you? See Fr. Bill if you are interested.
