Daily Reflection

Dear St. John's Community,

In the daily office lectionary a few days ago, we had these words from Paul's letter to the Colossians:

For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in spirit. (Col. 2:5a)

How interesting that something written roughly two millennia ago speaks to aptly to today. One of the bright spots of this whole experience is seeing many people learn how to be with one another in spirit while we have to be "absent in body."

I hope that you will avail yourselves of the opportunities to be joined in spirit tomorrow with your St. John's community through our service and many other offerings tomorrow. Everything may be found here at this link. We've got some special surprises in store in our service!

Also, we hope to do a live view on Facebook at 9am (details yet to come) and following that all are welcome to join us for coffee hour, hosted by Jo anne Hutton!

The info for that is:


Meeting ID: 816 6744 4347

I look forward to being with you tomorrow—absent in body but present in spirit.

God's peace,
Rob+
