"Not a Fan" with discussion following.
 Presenting "Not a Fan," a new small group DVD study from City on a Hill Productions, wich contains the following description:
Twenty times in the New Testament, Jesus issued a compelling and challenging invitation to Follow Him. He's not interested in mere fans. He doesn't want enthusiastic admirers. He wants Completely Committed Followers. Based on the engaging approach of Kyle Idleman, this one-of-a-kind small group study examines what it means to deny one's self and truly follow Jesus.
This unconventional small group experience is a cinematic journey through a series of six mini-movies providing a unique perspective to help shape today's believer into a first century Christ-follower.
Follow the journey of Eric Nelson, a man leading a compartmentalized triple life as a pleasure-seeking rebel, a cutthroat corporate executive, and a nominal Christian. When confronted with a near death experience, Eric embarks on a spiritual journey that transforms his commitment to Jesus Christ and tests the faith of his friends and family.

Contemporary Women's Bible Study
CWBS meets in the Peterson Room at the Plant Avenue Campus (St. John's Middle School).
The fall session of the Contemporary Women's Bible Study (CWBS) began on Tuesday, September 27th with the Gospel of John, and will run through the middle of March when we will begin a study of the book of Isaiah. Although we will be using the Interpretation Bible Studies series, we will be reading all of the chapters, not just those covered in the study guides.
All women of St. John's (and their friends) are invited to join this dynamic group for prayer, lively discussion, faith and fellowship. After a light breakfast, scripture and selected topics of interest are explored in new and creative ways, led by rotating facilitators. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, appreciate the big picture or delight in detail, this fresh approach to Bible study offers interesting and inspiring insights for everyone as we ponder its meaning for our lives.
If you are new to CWBS and do not have an entry code for the Middle School, contact Kathleen Moore at 813.221.6253 or kathleenmarymoore@gmail.com. We will need to make arrangements for someone to meet you and show you how to get into the building.

St. John's Choir Releases New CD
 "Magnificat," St. John's Choir's latest CD, has been released. It is a recording of this year's Benefit Concert that has been edited for CD, and features settings of the Magnificat of different musical genres, interspersed with organ solos played by Simon Morley and Simon Jacobs, who accompanied the concert. We are particularly grateful to Eric Stoll who, as well as singing in the performance, acted as recording engineer and producer, and has done an outstanding job. Thanks are due also to Sharon Stoll, who obtained copyright permission from publishers and performing rights. The CD is available through the Parish Office, 259.1570, and is priced at $15.
CDs are also available for purchase at www.shop.stollandson.com. |
