Every Sunday, the prayers of the people are led by the people and we need more people to participate in this ministry! It is a wonderful way to contribute to the service, without having to be "upfront". You do not have to be a creative writing genius, as there are many fine resources for the prayers, as well as training and assistance from the Rector. Please be in touch if you are interested.

There is a wonderful buzz on Sunday mornings in the summer between 9 and 9.30 am, as people gather to enjoy coffee, and again after the service when we serve lemonade!
We need your help! If you could volunteer to cover one or two Sundays over the summer please be in touch with Laura
Laura@stjohnsottawa.ca
Good news, no coffee making skills are required! The coffee will be ready we just need someone to bring the coffee at 8.45 am from the coffee shop a few doors away. Then after the Service the same (or another) volunteer could put out the lemonade, return the coffee gear and tidy-up.

LIGHT UP THE WORLD!
THY KINGDOM COME
|
Join the global wave of prayer!
Starts May 30th
Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.
www.thykingdomcome.global/lightuptheworld
During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come, it is hoped that everyone who takes part will
- Deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ
- Pray for God’s spirit to work in the lives of those they know
- Come to realise that every aspect of their life is the stuff of prayer
|

Many other events are happening in our dynamic Diocese!
- Community Ministries Annual Celebration June 4th
- Kateri Native Ministry, Service of Reconciliation June 2nd
- Suicide Intervention Skills Training June 26/27th

Thank you from the Tulipathon Team for the generosity of members and friends of St John's, as our team raised over $5,000 which is a new fundraising record for us!
This money supports MHI’s work to provide affordable housing in Ottawa.
Fundraising continues until the end of June, so there is still a chance to donate.
