Holy Week is only two weeks away, so sign-up sheets are now posted in Chisholm Hall for:

• Maundy Thursday Agape Meal (4/17 @ 6:30pm).  Help us get an accurate count!  (Want to help with this event?  Contact Della Stearns.)

• Maundy Thursday Overnight Watch (4/17 & 4/18): Sign up in half hour increments to watch and wait with Jesus in the Garden.  (Want to help with this event?  Contact Donna Vick.)

• Great Vigil of Easter Reception (4/19 following worship): sign up and tell us what favorite cocktail party appetizer you will bring (enough for your household plus more to share) (bring it on a special, beautiful plate or tray).  Come to the ultimate party of the year as we celebrate the Resurrection!  (Want to help with this reception?  Contact Carolyn Colon.)   

Easter Vigil and Easter Day Flowers: St. John's is accepting donations for flowers to decorate our worship space for Eastertide.  These flowers may be given in memory of, or in thanksgiving for, a loved one or a special event.  Forms are available in our worship space.  Please either mail your donation and form to the Parish Office or place both in a sealed envelope in the offering plate.  Please be sure to note "Easter flowers" on the check memo line.  

The Parish Garden Workday has been rescheduled for this Sunday, April 6, following worship.  Come spend the afternoon in beautiful spring weather and help with cleaning up the church gardens.  Bring your leaf and garden rakes and your work gloves.  Several gas-powered trimmers are needed!  Children welcome - make it a family outing!

The Last Contemplative Prayer is 4/8: We gather every week to worship God, using words, music, and our bodies; Contemplative Prayer is a way of praying through listening, learning to go beyond words so that we can simply be present with God.  St. John's offers Contemplative Prayer this Lent on Tuesday nights at 6:30pm in the Founders' Chapel.  After an introduction to quiet prayer, we will sit in silence with each other and with God and then share a brief reflection on our prayer experience before finishing around 7:15.
