St. John’s Episcopal Church
Let us pray:
O God, who has blessed and sustained this parish through the years; we ask that you continue to lead us, stretch us, and direct us, in our search for a new rector. Raise for us, we pray, a priest and pastor who will boldly proclaim your Gospel, faithfully administer your Sacraments, and serve your people with love and compassion, that we may continue to grow in the likeness of Christ and be a beacon of love and hope to our community and the world. To the glory of your holy Name. Amen.
OPM Committee will meet this Sunday right after church in the west transept by the piano about the 2022 Grant Applications for the vestry meeting Monday.
