We need your input!
Children's Programs at St John
We have three programs for children during the 10:30 Mass. Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) in which children ages 6-10 process out with volunteers are share the Gospel; during the Mass we offer Sunday school for children ages 4 to 5 and the nursery for children ages 1 to 3.
We need to know if these programs are helpful to you in the Parish. We also want to make sure you know about them so you can make use of them.
Would you like these programs to continue? Is it important for you to have your children learn about the Gospel in their own community? Are these programs serving your needs?
Please contact Sheila Connolly at sconnolly@stjohnsea.org or 206-782-2810 ext 352 to let her know your thoughts. |

Nov. 1
All Saints Day
All Souls Day
Nov. 2
We are nearing one of the most beloved holy days that we celebrate.
All Saints Day, November 1, with two Masses, one at 9am and another at 7pm, followed the next day by All Souls Day. As we have in the past, there will be plenty of prayer requests forms for your deceased family members and friends. They will be in the pews and at the doors of the church. There will also be an envelope you can use in your monthly envelope packet. Your prayers will be kept throughout the month of November and included in all the Masses said during the month.

We need YOUR ideas! There are great things going on in the archdiocese, from prayer groups to justice circles to workshops. We have access to retreat postings and workshops, but we really need to hear from you and what you would like to see happening at the parish.
I am hoping that you will take a few minutes to write down what you would like to have happen here, and what times work for you. I have had a few people come forward and give suggestions, and this has been helpful. But we need to hear from all of you. Please take a moment to drop us a line and let us know how we can help you continue to develop your faith life and connect you to this community.

My life flows on in endless song
Above earth's lamentation.
I hear the real, though far off hymn
That hails the new creation
Above the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing;
It sounds an echo in my soul
How can I keep from singing?
What though the tempest loudly roars,
I hear the truth, it liveth.
What though the darkness round me close,
Songs in the night it giveth.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
While to that rock I'm clinging.
Since love is lord of Heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?
When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,
And hear their death-knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near,
How can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile
Our thoughts to them are winging.
When friends by shame are undefiled,
How can I keep from singing?
Question: How can I keep from praying?
If you have prayer nuggets you'd like to share with the parish, email Bill Marty, bill@takenroad.com. Thanks!
