Holy Baptism Dates for 2018
|
|
|
We baptize primarily on those dates set aside for baptism, as listed in the Book of Common Prayer. Since the presence of the community of faith is essential for welcoming the newly baptized into the church, baptisms take place in the principal service on the appointed Sunday. The next dates for Baptism are:
- Sunday, February 11th at 10 am
- Saturday, March 31st at 7 pm
- Sunday, May 20th at 10 am
- Sunday, November 4th at 10 am
Questions about baptism? Please email
Mo. Susan.

Altar Flowers Sign Up
|
|
|
St. John on the Mountain continues the tradition of having fresh flowers on the altars. The arrangements enhance the sanctuary and are shared afterwards with the sick or divided to use again the following week in the chapel. Donations of flowers are made as memorials or in thanksgiving for special occasions. A date can be shared by more than one donor. The 2018 flower sign-up charts are now posted on the bulletin board in the hallway of the church building, opposite the entrance to the Chapel sacristy. For dedications and specific floral requests email
Sue Kennedy
or the office or call 908-766-2282.
The cost is $100 for church altar flowers and $70 for chapel altar flowers.

Stock Donations
|
|
|
Don't forget that you can donate your Stocks to SJOTM. The tax advantages of giving stock, instead of cash, to church can make doing so very worthwhile. We would be happy to accept stock donations for 2018 as form of pledge payment. To learn more, please email
Lisa Keenan or call the office at 908-766-2282 ext 13.
