Announcements & Events

> Liturgical Architect Visit
> This Sunday, 17 February
>> We will be welcoming Terry Eason, a well-known liturgical architect based in
>> North Carolina. The Vestry has invited Terry to attend both services that day
>> and to meet with the congregations afterwards to hear to their ideas,
>> comments, and suggestions on  how we might enhance our worship space. Terry
>> will be reporting back to the Vestry at a later date with some possible
>> options. As we all know, the pipe organ in the chancel is close to the end of
>> its life and will not serve us much longer.  No decisions have been taken
>> about a replacement, but in thinking and studying how to replace it (a
>> process that has been going on for some years) we have learned that
>> installing a new pipe organ may necessitate some changes in the layout of the
>> chancel.  This is an opportunity for us all to meet and to discuss together
>> the possibilities as we embark upon such an important decision in our
>> community life.
>> 
> Lenten Booklet
>> Be sure to pick up a copy of the Lenten Booklet "Walk through the Bible
>> during Lent" prepared for the parishioners of St. John¹s.
> 
> New Parish Photo Directory
> Sign up on line
>> We are hoping to have every member of the parish included in the new photo
>> directory. The more we have photographed the more ministry and activity pages
>> we get at no charge. Every person and family photographed will get a free
>> 8x10 portrait. Photos will be taken on February 21, 22 and 23. Sign up
>> on-line at http://www.signup.olanmills.com and use our telephone number,
>> 202-338-1796, as the password.
>> 
> Volunteers are needed
>> Please volunteer to help with answering the telephone in the Parish Office
>> during our weekly staff meeting. This is usually Mondays at 1 p.m. for about
>> an hour. If Monday is a holiday, then the meeting is held on Tuesday. Contact
>> Jane Volkema, 202-338-3296 if you are interested in signing up to help
>> 
> Call for Lay Committee members
>> St. John¹s has three parishioners in the process to be licensed as lay
>> preachers. Volunteers are needed to serve on the committee to give feed back
>> on their sermons. If you are interested, contact Albert at 202-338-3294.

> Save the Date: St. John¹s Preschool/Parish Auction
