As many of you know, LinkedIn is the top online business networking platform, with over 630 million registered members. While used primarily to list career and business interests, it also allows you to list (and link) outside interests, memberships and affiliations, including places of worship. As part of our outreach into the community and world of work, we invite you to list your membership (and roles) at St. John's, which will both allow others who might be interested in St. John's to connect with you, and also show our interest in, and relevance to, the world of work.
We have set up a St. John's LinkedIn page, and would welcome congregational participation in building out and populating the page.

St. John's South Africa Trip to
the Kwasa Centre
July 6-20, 2020 (Tentative)
|
St. John's will travel again to the Kwasa Centre in South Africa this summer. Adults, young people and families are all welcome to participate. The tentative travel dates are July 6 to 20, 2020. The Rector will lead the trip, which will include spending time at Kwasa with its founder and Rector, the Rev. Sharron Dinnie. Kwasa, now known as the Kwasa College (www.Kwasacollege.org), is a growing Anglican pre-primary and primary school serving children from a nearby informal settlement. St. John's has supported and been in partnership with Kwasa since 2004 and has made several mission trips there, as well as hosting students and teachers from Kwasa on a regular basis.
If you have questions or are interested in being part of the pilgrimage, please contact Sigi Block or Abbott McCartney.
