Tuesday, May 7 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm in Brooks Library

All women are welcome—every first Tuesday of the month—whether you have attended in the past or are joining for the first time!

Our topic on May 7 will be “What Psalm 1 can teach us about walking God’s path.”

• What would it feel like to be “blessed” as this Psalm calls us to be?
• How does the imagery in the Psalm speak to us: the tree planted by rivers, the chaff blown away; standing, sitting, walking?
• What is meant by “the law” and how can we “meditate day and night?”

Questions? Contact group facilitator, Susan Symington.

Sunday, May 19 following the 10:15 am service

Stay after church and join us on the grassy area behind the church for a sweet treat! Build your own Sundae at our Ice Cream Sundae Bar catered by Ben & Jerry’s!

Delicious flavors and toppings will be offered. Everyone can create their own masterpiece!

There’ll also be a Moon Bounce for kids. Bring your own camp chairs and blankets—we will provide a few extras. All ages are welcome.

Sunday, May 19 at 5:00 pm

The St. John’s Choir will join the choir of St. Alban’s, Annandale in offering a service of Choral Evensong for Pentecost. St. John’s will host the service. St. John’s Director of Music, Karl Robson, and his husband—St. Alban’s Director of Music, Adam Detzner—have frequently collaborated like this in the past and are excited to do so again! Please come support our choir on their last Sunday of the program year.

Choral Evensong follows substantially the order found in The Book of Common Prayer of 1662, with psalms, Bible readings, and the Songs of Mary and Simeon: Magnificat and Nunc dimittis. The prayers, hymns, and anthems come from many centuries of the Christian Church. At Evensong we participate mostly by allowing the minister and choir to speak and sing on our behalf. Many find this frees them, in a busy world, to offer to God their own thoughts and prayers

2nd Thursday of the month at 10:30 am in the Smoot Conference Room

The prayer shawl ministry has expanded! Knitters, crocheters, sewers, and crafters of all sorts gather on the 2nd Thursday of each month, sharing creative ideas and inspiration. Join them to share your gifts, to be inspired, and to inspire others. Bring a friend! Questions? Contact the Parish Office or Martha High.

4th Sunday of the month, starting after the 8:00 am service until fellowship following the 10:15 am service

On the fourth Sunday of the month, following each service, all hands, large and small are welcome to join us in Shears Hall to assemble sandwiches for Martha's Table.
