All Saints' Day Dedications
|
|
|
During the Sunday service on November 6th, we will remember in prayer the names of those who have been buried from St. John on the Mountain during the past year. In addition to reading the list of names of those who died this year, we invite you to share with us the names of those you have loved and lost. Please send us those names, and we will remember them before God when we celebrate the Feast of All Saints. Forms are available on-line, in the office, or in the narthex. Please return your dedication to the office by Friday, October 28th.

Baptism at St John on the Mountain
|
|
|
Sunday, November 6
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 day for Baptism is Sunday, November 6th at 10 am. Questions about baptism? Please contact Mo. Susan.

Thursday, October 27
This fall we will explore the women of the Old Testament, whose rich stories are often forgotten or misunderstood. This study is influenced and inspired by the work of friend of the parish, Mother Ann Holt, whom we hope will be able to join us for some sessions. Join us! No previous experience with the Bible needed!
