This Week on the Mountain

The Fourth Sunday of Easter, April 25, 2021

The Schedule for This Sunday

All liturgies are inside.

Early this week we received permission to welcome up to 50% of our "maximum safe occupancy." We will continue to maintain social distancing and all other signs of love for each other regardless of vaccination status! Also, we must continue to keep a list of attendees, so please email the office if there's a chance that Dave doesn't know your name.

We also received consent to return our physical hymnals and prayerbooks to the racks, but are not yet able to sing. Our leaflets will continue to have everything we need especially for the convenience of those who attend by streaming.

Please join us at

8 am Holy Eucharist, Rite I, Church & Livestream
10 am Holy Eucharist Rite II with music, Parish Hall Lawn & Livestream

You are welcome to attend the 8 or 10 am services in-person or virtually. We urge you to do whatever feels safest to you!

The liturgies are held in the Church where social distancing and safe procedures are maintained:

Every other pew is available for seating. Pods or People sit more than 6 feet apart.
Doors and windows remain open and the air handler remains on to allow air to circulate.
Our singers are in "unusual" places during the liturgy to maintain requisite distance from each other and the assembly as well as to be able to hear each other and see Christopher.

If you are joining us at the 8 or 10 am in-person, please read the guidelines here. You must contact the office at 908-766-2282 or office@sjotm.org to attend either service. Your reservation is acknowledgment that you have read and agree to conform to the guidelines.

The 8 & 10 am liturgies will continue to stream in the SJOTM Zoom Room as well.

You are invited to a "tailgate" style coffee hour in the church parking lot following the 10 am liturgy. Please bring your own chairs, food, and drink. Masks must be worn while not eating or drinking.

Open Table Men's Study

The group is currently wrestling with Making Sense of Paul: A Basic Introduction to Pauline Theology by Virginia Wiles. The book is available at Amazon for $24.

We admit that Pauline Theology is winning the match right now. As a result, we'll be moving to Hanging by a Thread by Sam Wells in a few weeks for solace and simpler sentences.

A well-known Anglican Priest, Sam has been the Vicar of St Martins in the Fields since 2012. He spent the nights of his first week there in a sleeping bag alongside the people on the church's front steps. He has served as a parish priest for 20 years and was Dean of Duke University Chapel for 7.

Sam is married to Jo Wells, who is Bishop of Dorking. They have two children.

Please contact Rich McGlynn here for more information. Especially contact Rich if you want to receive a reminder and the Zoom link early on Wednesday morning.

Story Time with Mrs. Mitchell

Check out our Facebook page each week as Mrs. Mitchell reads bible stories. Each week is a new story and lesson....this is a fun way to continue religious education at home.

Also, don't forget to drop by the SJOTM office and pick up a craft bag. New bags for March are in a bin on the front porch of the parish office building.
