St. John on the Mountain
Celebrates All Saints' Day Jointly with
St. Mark's in Basking Ridge
|
All the saints of St. John on the Mountain and St. Mark's in Basking Ridge celebrated All Saints' Day together, thanks to the gracious hospitality of Fr. Rick Morley, rector of St. Mark's, who invited us to worship with them when our building was still without power. The choirs joined together, Mother Susan presided at the Eucharist, and Father Morley preached a marvelous sermon. It was a Feast to remember! Our parishes will be partnering in Advent for a Quiet Day which will be held here on December 10. Watch for more details coming soon!
