We baptize primarily on those dates set aside for baptism, as listed in the Book of Common Prayer.  Since the presence of the communit y of faith is essential for welcoming the newly baptized into the church, baptisms take place in the principal service on the appointed Sunday. The next day for Baptism is Sunday, November 3rd at 10 am, in a joint service with the community of St. Bernard's.  Questions about baptism?  Please contact Mo. Susan at rector@sjotm.org.

During the joint Sunday service on November 3rd with St. Bernard's,

we will remember in prayer the names of those who have been buried from St. John on the Mountain during the past year.  In addition to reading the list of names of those who died this year, we invite you to share with us the names of those you have loved and lost. Please send us those names, and we will remember them before God when we celebrate the Feast of All Saints.  Click here for form.  Please return your dedication by Friday, October 25th.

St. John's  Mission Outreach Commission is calling for "Request for Proposals (RFP)" from smaller non-profit organizations in which parishioners are involved.   We are offering grants of $500 -  $2,000 to local charities for which such a sum would be a meaningful donation. We favor charities that we can support with our time and talent, as well as with funds to help them to build a better organization and reach their goals.

The requirements for the RFP are as follows:

1)  The organization must be not-for-profit

2)  Small, independent organizations are favored but local          

      chapters of larger organizations may also apply

3)   Organizations are encouraged to name specific projects with 

      a cost of around $1,000, although more general uses will be 

      considered

4)  Each RFP must be sponsored by a parishioner who has     

      knowledge of the organization and who is willing to       

      represent it to the Commission

The RFP need not be very long but should include the amount of money sought and a brief description of how the money will be used. We would also like to know what the primary sources of funds are for the charity. A website address should be included.

Submit your RFPs, to the Parish Office, by November 15th for funds to be distributed this year.
