Simple Suppers 

Simple Suppers - The Tradition Continues

Simple Suppers returns to St. John on the Mountain.  For those that are new to the parish, Simple Suppers is a long standing tradition at SJOTM. This is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends and spend time with old ones.  Groups of 10-12 will be formed the week of February 9th. These Simple Suppers need not be only dinner, but can also be brunch, lunch, or cocktails.  Generally, each group meets about twice during the bleak months of February and March. 

 

It's easy to participate.  Sign-up through February 8th by filling out a Simple Suppers form and placing it in the box located in the hallway near Parish Hall or email the Parish Office or call 908-766-2282.  Questions?  Contact Sue Catlett or Jane Mercer.

Healing Service on Thursday, January 29th

Thursday, January 29th

The Holy Eucharist with Prayers for Healing will take place on Thursday, January 29th at noon in the chapel. This simple service of prayer, Holy Communion, and the laying on of hands for those who desire it, is an extension of the ministry of the Pastoral Care Committee.  All are welcome.
