St. John’s Wellness Ministry
Spiritual Wholeness
“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” Colossians 2:6
This week we celebrated the Baptism of Jesus Christ. When we are baptized, we receive the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did, however, we also need a strong community of faithful followers to help us to stay rooted in Christ. That’s where St. John’s Wellness Ministry can help. Today, we are highlighting the ways in which St. John’s supports your journey toward Spiritual Wholeness.
We have several regular spiritual offerings, including Nurture Group, which meets for book study and prayer every Monday at 10am. We offer a weekly Healing Service with Father Mark every Wednesday at noon in the Chapel. During this service, healing prayer is offered for any condition that you feel is in need of mending, renewal, or restoration. And finally, our Faith Matters group provides an opportunity for Bible Study, reflection and prayer every Sunday at 9:30 in the Rector’s office. Check our website for COVID updates regarding these programs.
In addition, Spiritual Direction is available with Mother Catherine by appointment, either in person or on Zoom. Spiritual Direction is not “therapy” or “counseling.” Rather, it is mutual companionship that is intended to guide the directee into deeper relationship with God by learning to pay attention and respond to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If you are interested in Spiritual Direction, please contact Mother Catherine at catherine@stjlat.org.
Finally, St. John’s offers special, seasonal opportunities for spiritual nurture. In the past we’ve offered morning and evening prayer, Ignatian prayer, and most recently, an Advent Retreat. In 2022, we’ll be providing a Lenten Retreat Day, and Alpha, a program that explores the big questions of life in a welcoming, fun, and open environment. Stay tuned for more information about upcoming opportunities!
Peace, Mother Catherine

ST . JOHN'S COUNTRY FAIR GRANTS

OUTREACH
MLK Commemorative Program
What an amazing way to lift our spirits with a local program to celebrate a Great American Hero!
Please join Father Mark, Mother Catherine, Miss Courtney and Vestry member Shannon Vulin and Victoria Crosby at one of this country’s oldest, continuous Birthday celebrations of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
We are all on the King Commission Board that educates and celebrates the legacy of Reverend King right here in Glen Cove and the North Shore.
We have some exciting things planned this year. Our Instagram and FaceBook are up and active and we will be working on special content making the word and heart of Dr. King relevant, and inspiring to us all from 4 to 94!
Sheryl Goodine, president of the King Commission, still has her father's shoes that he wore while marching with his close friend, Dr. King on the second, historic Birmingham March.
You can join us from anywhere in the country and from your cozy kitchen or library! The Zoom codes are below!
See you January 17th at 10:00 am! ~ Miss Courtney
