Grace Soup Kitchen

Join us one Friday as we prepare and serve lunch. The next day scheduled for St. John on the Mountain to serve is on Friday, June 26th from 10 am - 1 pm. Please email Graham Argent-Belcher to let him know if plan to attend.

Summer Sunday Service Schedule Begins Sunday, June 28th

The Summer Sunday service schedule begins next Sunday, June 28th. We will offer one service - 9:30 am Holy Eucharist, Rite II with music in the Parish Hall and childcare, followed by Lemonade Hour.

Summer Choir

The Choir of St. John on the Mountain invites you to join us during the summer Sundays of July and August! Rehearsals are brief, starting at 8:45 am in preparation for the 9:30 am Eucharist. During that time we will prepare hymns, service music, and a simple anthem for worship. This is a great way to try the Choir (with no strings attached!) or to simply be a part of the choir if your schedule does not permit doing so during the year. Middle school and high school students are welcome, too. No advance notice is required. Just show up on any Sunday morning in the Choir Room at 8:45 am beginning Sunday, June 28th and enjoy the music making!

Lemonade Hour

Beginning next Sunday, June 28th there will be a Lemonade Hour, immediately following the 9:30 am service. Hosts are needed. It's easy; all you need to bring is a small treat as the lemonade is provided by the church. A sign-up sheet is located on the bulletin board outside of Parish Hall. Weather permitting, Lemonade Hour will take place outside in the front courtyard.

Tend the Memorial Garden

Thursdays at 4:30 pm in June, July, and August

Stop by to tidy up the Memorial Garden and surround. Giving a little of your time by sweeping, weeding, and such will help to keep this lovely area at its best.
