SPECIAL EVENTS
CELEBRATE THE SEASON'S END WITH US
Sunday, May 10 at 5:00 pm
Join us for the final Second Sunday Choral Evensong of our inaugural season, led by the St. John’s Choir, and featuring music of Henry Loosemore, Katherine Webb, T. Tertius Noble, and Zachary Wadsworth. Choral Evensong, a contemplative liturgy, is one of the treasures of the Anglican tradition. At this service, the congregation participates mostly by allowing the clergy and choir to speak and sing on its behalf. Many find this frees them, in a busy world, to offer to God their own thoughts and prayers. A reception with light refreshments follows in Shears Hall. Bring a friend!

St. John's Church is transforming our grounds with a vibrant wildflower garden, and we need your help to bring it to life! We have 250 small beauties to get into the ground, and many hands will make light work. Come be the first to see our new garden take shape!
To stay comfortable and protected while you work, we recommend wearing light-colored, long sleeves and pants tucked into boots, a hat, and your favorite bug spray.
Please bring your garden tools (trowels, shovels, rakes, etc.), sunblock, and a pair of gloves. We’ll provide the water!
Can’t make these specific planting dates? We will have future opportunities for watering and weeding. Thank you for helping make our church grounds beautiful. Questions? Please contact
