Dear Friends,
If you are able, I hope you will consider making a relief donation for the people of Haiti. The Episcopal Relief and Development Fund has had an extensive commitment to the people of Haiti for many years. There is information about making donations through ERD on their website: http://www.er-d.org/
For those of you who are part of the Diocese of Newark, please know that our Bishop has sent $10,000 to the Bishop of Haiti’s discretionary fund on our behalf along with our prayers.
Peace,
Rev. Laurie

Sunday Worship
8 a.m. Traditional Service
This Rite 1 service offers an opportunity to worship using the beautiful prayers many life long Episcopalians grew up with. It is also a shorter service and attractive to those who like to start their day early.
10 a.m. Contemporary Choral Eucharist
This service is based on the Rite II Eucharist in the Book of Common prayer but regularly includes other sources to connect the immediacy of Scripture and the church’s mission with our every day experience. If you experience God especially through music, this is also the service for you. St. John’s has a beautiful hundred and fifty year old pipe organ, an amazing Choir Master and a wonderful choir.
Communion
All who are spiritually hungry are welcomed to the Lord’s table at St. John’s. Children too! Both wine and grape juice are offered during communion. If your child is too young to receive communion Rev. Laurie will offer a blessing. Adults who do not wish to participate in communion are also invited to the communion rail for a blessing.
