While directed toward seniors and persons with physical limitations, it is an effective aerobic activity for all levels. There is no charge. A free will offering is accepted to cover expenses. Give your muscles and joints a break. Come join us!
Music Notes&
We love our new choir room! It is making such a difference for us. We now have a place to practice without constant usage conflicts, as well as adequate storage for our equipment. How did we ever live without it? It is so much easier to hear ourselves sing during rehearsals, everything we need is so convenient, and of course the new Steinway piano is a joy to use. We have ordered risers for the room, which will be convertible to a portable stage, open for use by the youth, school, or faith formation departments. A thousand THANK YOU'S to our donors!
We are now offering meditative instrumental music at the 6:15 p.m. Mass. While the liturgy continues to be spoken, not sung, and no hymns are included, some of St. John's instrumental talent will play at certain times of the liturgy. Today's musician is our choir accompanist, Jody Peterson.
St. Vincent De Paul&
HEY BUDDY!
"Hey buddy, got a buck for a pair of socks?" That's a new one, what happened to "got a dime for a cup of coffee?" Well coffee doesn't cost a dime anymore. A cup of coffee at Starbucks cost as much as two pairs of socks. All things considered, that makes socks a pretty good buy!
So next time you get a coffee - remember our sock, t-shirt and boxer shorts collection during lent for the Simpson Homeless Shelter and St. Stephen's. Containers are at all church entrances. Sponsored by St. Vincent De Paul.
"At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned..."
Matthew, 9:13
