This Sunday, March 3, will be the first in St. John's Church for Fr. Doug Zimmerman, as he joins the clergy as Associate Rector for Pastoral Ministries. Fr. Zimmerman will preach at all three services: 7:45 a.m., 9:00 a.m., and 11:15 a.m. 

There will be a welcoming reception in Rudisill Parish Hall for Fr. Zimmerman and his family after the 9:00 a.m. service on Sunday, March 10.  Please join us to greet the newest member of our clergy!

This Sunday, March 3, is Mission Possible, our eighth annual talent show with a cause!  Tickets are available at the door, or at the parish offices this week.  Individuals are $12, and families are $25 (up to 6 people).  All performers and children 6 and under are free.  Light fare will be provided.  The show takes place in the school's Middle Division Gym, 240 Plant Avenue, at 3:30 p.m.  Parking is available under the Selmon Expressway overpass.  Join us for entertainment with a mission!  Proceeds benefit St. John's mission projects in Uganda and the Dominican Republic.

We all go through transitions each and every day.  Our parish is in the midst of a time of transition, particularly with the loss of Father Hehr and the gain of Father Zimmerman.  Let us come together this Lenten season to reflect together on Biblical transitions and our OWN transitions as we break bread together and strengthen our community.

Each session will begin with a session with yoga instructor Megan Weathers, and will conclude with our own Sharon Stoll playing the harp for the purpose of healing meditation.
 
A hearty soup, bread, and dessert will be provided by the church and prepared by Chef Dave Kenyon.  Please bring a side dish to share.
