Dear St. John's Community,
Today is Friday, apparently.
I confess that I've forgotten what day of the week it was more than once in the past few days. What we are experiencing right now is, if nothing else, disorienting!
The way we live our typical lives, there is a rhythm to a day, a week, a year. Those rhythms that we used to have are being disrupted right now. It can make us feel ungrounded. The blessing is that if you needed to get out of some rut, this is your golden opportunity.
I am finding that I am making new rhythms and routines. It's a chance to be a little more intentional than usual.
For so many of us, weekly or daily worship is one of the routines that keeps us spiritually anchored every week. We are now offering online
daily noonday prayer
services during weekdays. They are both lay and clergy led and just a half an hour, starting at 12:10pm. Click

And don't forget to tune in on Sunday as we do our third broadcast service online. The photo of me above is from the taping of my sermon, which I did this morning. Again, it is disorienting to do my weekend sermon on a Friday, but on the other hand it was a plus to get to preach in Rock Creek Park!
I wish you the blessing of intentional, productive and life-giving rhythms in your days and weeks ahead, as we find our way forward in this together.

Something fun.
There are a lot of beautiful things making their way around the Internet right now. Here's
something uplifting: Robbie Robertson, Ringo Starr and a host of others playing music together across five continents!
