The Last Sunday after the Epiphany

Piano Dedication
Sunday, February, 26
St. John's has recently been given a generous gift - a Yamaha GC1 2006 Grand Piano. We will dedicate the new instrument at our 10:00 am Eucharist on Sunday, February 26, when we will also welcome the donor family to St. John's.
Simple Supper is Back!

The Fellowship Committee is delighted to announce that we are bringing back  Simple   Suppers . For those who are unaware, this is a voluntary fellowship activity that is designed to welcome new parishioners into our community and give all parishioners an opportunity to get to know each other in a fun, informal setting. 

This year we are offering an on-line signup form.   Click here to access the sign up form. Signing up is quick and easy!

After everyone who desires to participate has signed up, the Fellowship Committee will divide the list into groups of 8-10 people. Simple Suppers will start with a kick-off party held in the Parish Hall on Sunday, March 5th immediately following the 10:00 am service. At this event, everyone will break into their groups to schedule dinner or lunch get- togethers at the homes of group members. In past years, groups have arranged about three get- togethers.  If you have any questions, please email Paul Zanardi    or call at 908-256-1136.

Grace Soup Kitchen serves 1,000 hot nutritious meals the last five days of each month to the hungry of Plainfield.  St. John on the Mountain parishioners help on the last Friday of each month.  Join us one Friday as we prepare and serve lunch. The next day scheduled for St. John on the Mountain to serve is on Friday, February 24th from 10 am - 1 pm.  To sign-up email Graham Argent-Belcher at gabelcher@msn.com.

Evening Prayer in Lent with Potluck Supper
On Wednesdays at 6:00 pm in Lent (March 8, 15, 22, 29, April 5) join us for a simple Potluck Supper. Bring a simple dish to share with members of our community. Afterwards, join us at at 7:00 pm for Evening Prayer in the Church. We will use a simple musical setting by Marty Haugen called the Holden Evening Prayer. Originally developed for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) it has widely become ecumenical in use. The service will last about 20 minutes

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 2017 as form of pledge payment. To learn more, please email Lisa Keenan or call the office at 908-766-2282 ext 13.
