SJC Responds to Afghan Crisis |
|
Operation Furnish Apartment
In response to the Afghan crisis, the SJC Refugee Committee met to discuss how our congregation might help. We will be partnering with Catholic Charities and have agreed to furnish one apartment for a family of four within the next 30-45 days.
You can help a family resettle now.
Catholic Charities has a list of needed items on Amazon, which you can access here. Smaller household items, like linens, kitchen utensils, cleaning and grooming products can be placed in the barrel in Ingram Lounge. The barrel will be in place at 10 a.m. this Sunday, October 31. Please label all donations, "For SJC Apartment." For information on how to donate furniture and larger items, a list of all committee members, and volunteer opportunities, read more here. Read the SJC Committee update here.

SJC Staff Receives Narcan Training |
|
In Duval County, from 2016 to 2018 more than 1,000 people died from an opioid overdose. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, 911 calls for overdose have spiked and deaths from overdose have increased. Recently at St. John's, we responded to a cry for help from a friend of an overdose victim during a Sunday service. This prompted the NARCAN training for all staff and clergy members. Drug Free Duval facilitated the training and supplied free NARCAN. If you run a company or are part of an organization that could benefit from this training, please contact Sally Finn at Drug Free Duval. |

Transition Committee Appointees
Beloved in Christ,
The Standing Committee was once again humbled to see the excitement around the Diocese for all that the Lord has in store for us through next year’s episcopal election.
We received many applications from talented clergy and laity, and we are grateful to God that there is so much willingness to serve. We extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to those who applied but were not appointed.
With gratitude and great expectation, we announce the names of those appointed to serve on the Transition Committee:
· Barbara Stevenson, St. Mark’s, Jacksonville – Co-Chair
· The Rev. Bob Goolsby, St. Thomas, Palm Coast – Co-Chair
· Hannah Bardin, Our Saviour, Jacksonville
· Deborah Brill, St. Luke’s, Jacksonville
· Martha Cox, St. John’s Cathedral, Jacksonville
· Glenn Guiler, St. John’s Cathedral, Jacksonville
· Amy Johnson, Holy Comforter, Tallahassee
· Heather Johnston, Redeemer, Jacksonville
· The Rev. Bob Marsh, St. Mark’s, Palatka
· The Rev. Sarah Minton, All Saints, Jacksonville
· Marilyn Peterson, Holy Trinity, Gainesville
· The Rev. Tom Reeder, Christ Church, Ponte Vedra
· Pam Stefansen, St. Andrew’s, Jacksonville
· The Rev. William Stokes, St. Mark’s, Jacksonville
· Jack Tull, Christ Church, Seranata Beach
· The Rev. Adam Young, Incarnation Chapel, Gainesville
This important committee will shepherd the final slate of nominees from their announcement in early March to the election in mid-May, with an emphasis on introducing the nominees to the Diocese, and the Diocese to the nominees. They will then care for those not elected and help our Bishop Coadjutor-Elect move towards consecration.
Please keep them in your regular prayers as their initial organizing work begins very soon.
In Christ Alone,
Your Standing Committee
