Dear St. John's Community,

Today I had to be at the office, and Kim Carlson, our Director of Operations, was also there. It was the first time for us to see each other in the flesh in months, and we were not quite prepared for what joy it brought! We stayed at a distance, with masks on, but we were literally jumping up and down. It just felt so good.

As we re-gather, it will not be like it was—at least not for a while. But there will be these moments of small but concentrated joy. Hold on to them as they come. They are on the way.

God's peace,

Rob+

Our service from yesterday is available here! Experience it again, or for the first time.
