Coming in March
March is Women's History Month and the St. John's Women Group will be honoring women that made a difference in the priesthood, especially in the Episcopal Church in Connecticut.

Coming soon will be a display of six priests that we have chosen to honor in March so please look out for them.

On that note, be sure to take a look at the Black History Month display in Baronial Hall this coming Sunday before it is taken down.

Help Wanted- Volunteers for Altar Guild
"We do not presume to come to your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own goodness, but in your all-embracing love and mercy. We are not worthy even to gather up the crumbs under your table, but it is your nature always to have mercy. So feed us with the body and blood of Jesus Christ, your Son, that we may forever live in him and he in us. Amen."
 
These words from the BCP acknowledge our inadequacies in front of God and at the same time strengthen us to do anything in his name. As St. John's prepares for a new season with the arrival of our Priest-in-charge, we ask that you think about what many believe is the most important aspect of why we come together every Sunday - Communion - and heed the call to volunteer to help serve at God's table.
 
Please reach out to our Senior Warden Ron Bacchi or any other member of the Vestry if you are interested in volunteering to serve on our Altar Guild.
