St. John's Choir begins an exciting year of concerts and choral offerings on Sunday, October 26, with an Evensong at 5:00 p.m. Choral Evensong is widely considered the jewel in the crown of the Anglican Choral Tradition. There are four opportunities to enjoy this service during the 2014-2015 music year, firstly, here at St. John's on the 26th, when the service will be sung by our own choir and feature music by Robert Lehman and Charles Wood. The evensong will take place in the church and will be followed by a reception in the Parish Hall, to which all are invited. 

We had a blast at paintball this past Sunday!

This intimate musical evening with silent auction items is to raise funds for the St. John's choir and the music ministry so that we can expand our program as well as raise awareness of St. John's musical tradition in the community, particularly with a view to founding a choral scholar program with the University of Tampa. 

The next organizational meeting will be held October 24th at 5:00 p.m. at the home of Margit Williams. All parishioners are encouraged to find silent auction items in support of St. John's choir. All donations are tax deductible, and flyers regarding the event can be found in the parish offices. Any questions, please contact Margit Williams at 431.4057 or at margitwilliams@mac.com.

A small group of elementary school students, including several from our parish, have started an organization that takes broken/used crayons and makes larger ones for children with disabilities or in hospitals. Collection boxes for used crayons and other supplies will be available at the church in coming weeks, we hope you will help!  Click here for a flyer about the program.
