Change in
Communion Wine
► Starting in late June, the St. John's
Altar Guild will begin serving a rosé wine instead of the traditional
dark wine. This change is based on a recent taste test done on a
selection of communion wines by the Guild and Pastor Rachel. The rosé
wine is a more popular choice among congregations. It is also more
"forgiving" when spilled on communion linens. The new wine will also be
more easily distinguished from the dark grape juice that the Altar Guild
will continue to have available for communion.

Special Communion Service
► Come as you are...to St. John's on June 6 at 3:00 pm. The service is for everyone, especially those who have problems attending regular worship. There will be large print bulletins, healing and laying on of hands if desired, Communion brought to your pew, and a reception in Neumann. Wheelchairs, walkers, canes and bedroom slippers are welcome! There will be help to assist you. If you need a ride, call St. John's at 243-7691 and we will put you on the list for transportation. Come and worship in the beauty of your own church. You are important to us!
