Save the Date: St. John’s Preschool/Parish AuctionSaturday, 1 March 
Liturgical Architect VisitSunday, 17 FebruaryWe 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 itslife 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 together as we embark upon such an important decision in our community life.
