Dear St. John's Community,
I am happy to announce that starting this weekend we will provide fifteen additional spaces open to anyone in the congregation who would like to attend worship in the church on Sunday mornings! To be as fair as possible, we will make seats available on a lottery basis.
If you would like to attend, please send a message to
rsvp@stjohns-dc.org. If there are multiple people in your household interested in attending, please list their names. Also, please put down which upcoming Sundays you'll be available.
Fifteen people will be randomly selected from the list, keeping households together. If you are selected you'll get a message form the office with the information you need. Once you have attended, we will make room for others to move higher on the list in order to be fair.
Over time we will continue gradually expanding the numbers so that more and more people will get to worship in the church on Sundays. Needless to say, we all can't wait until we can fully reopen.
I have an additional announcement, which is that for the Sunday afternoon gatherings, you no longer need to sign up. Simply show up at one of the scheduled outdoor gatherings. Locations and maps are found
at this link. This weekend we will only have two locations, one in VA and one at a new location in DC—both at 4pm. When you arrive, please sign in with an usher.
I continue to be very grateful to the Regathering Task Force, who has helped us navigate our way through this new territory. I am also grateful for the agility and grace of our entire parish.
God's peace,
Rob+
