Lectionary Based Bible Study - Zoom
Each
Wednesday, at 7:00 p.m., we will look forward to worship by focusing on the lectionary readings for the following Sunday.
Note that the Waiting Room is enabled for this meeting, so somebody logged into the St. John’s account must be present to admit people into the meeting. This is to protect the meeting participants from any possible "trolls" who might try to interrupt our Bible study. The meeting facilitator will admit you to the meeting as quickly as possible.
Also, the lectionary page link for the specific week is posted on the web site with links via Facebook, for both English and Spanish lectionaries. These are posted under the “Resources for Online Worship” (English) or “Recursos para el culto en línea” (Spanish) header on the web site homepage.

Thursday Morning Fellowship - Zoom
The Thursday Morning Fellowship will continue to meet (via Zoom) at 10:00 a.m. each Thursday, but the format for the next few weeks will be slightly different. Instead of topics of study, we will be gathering to share our own stories, thanks-givings, complaints, and especially ideas about how to continue - what do YOU want to read, study, explore in order to deepen your own spirituality and/or knowledge about the Christian life and how to live it? If you have any questions, please contact Elaine Jackson (hittyelaine@gmail.com or 512-832-5663.)

Reaffirmation of Faith
Although we do not yet know when we will begin re-gathering, or if Bishop Ryan will be able to actually visit St. John's on August 30, we are planning 4 Wednesday evening sessions for preparation prior to Bishop Ryan's proposed visit: August 5, 12, 19, 26. These sessions will include those preparing for confirmation, reception, and reaffirmation, or anyone interested in learning more about the "Episcopal Branch of the Jesus Movement"
(Presiding Bishop Michael Curry)
. At this time, we don't know if we will be able to hold these sessions in person at the church, but regardless, we will continue to utilize Zoom for those who might still be uncomfortable with attending group meetings.
If you wish to be baptised, confirmed, or received, or if you have any questions about reaffirmation, please feel free to contact Fay Jones by email (fay@austinstjohns.org).
