• Bible Study - Acts of the Apostles

  We begin a new Bible study on Thursday, April 15th at 10:30 am in the Parish Hall reading and reflecting on the Acts of the Apostles, the story of the early church following the resurrection of Christ.  Please join us as we seek a deeper understanding of this important time in the foundation of the church.  Bibles will be available. All are welcome.

• NEW! St. John's Book Club

  We are starting a new book club at St. John's.  Each month we will choose a book to read and meet once together to share our response to its message.  Our first book is "Lest Innocent Blood be Shed" by Philip Hallie. 

  "During the most terrible years of World War II, when inhumanity and political insanity held most of the world in their grip and the Nazi domination of Europe seemed irrevocable and unchallenged, a miraculous event took place in a small Protestant town in southern France called Le Chambon. There, quietly, peacefully, and in full view of the Vichy government and a nearby division of the Nazi SS, Le Chambon's villagers and their clergy organized to save thousands of Jewish children and adults from certain death."

  The book is available through Amazon -- let us know if you need help to obtain a copy.  

  Whether you have read all, some or none of the book, please join us on Wednesday, May 12th at 10 am as we discuss the lessons of humanity taught by this small Christian community during World War II.
