Thanks to everyone who visited during the Stained Glass Tour. Just in case you're wondering, we have a Sunday Mass at 8:00 A.M. and a 10:00 A.M. Mass with music. You are all invited to see us. We'll be there. It was wonderful meeting everyone and hearing your memories, concerns, and questions.

Former parishioners Shelle and Tim Clarke stopped in Georgia today and had lunch with our very own Deacon Don! He was so happy to see them! Deacon is adjusting well but misses everyone at St. John’s!

Beautiful services throughout Holy Week culminating to a wonderful celebration Easter morning. After church the children had a wonderful time hunting down their Easter eggs. If you have additional pictures, please share them with us in comments.

The clergy of the Diocese of Springfield (Episcopal Church) gathered at our Cathedral Church of St. Paul to reaffirm their ordination vows as part of the annual Chrism Mass.

Let us pray for our Clergy as they pray for us.

Almighty God, giver of all good gifts, in your divine providence you have appointed various orders of ministers in your Church: Give your grace, we humbly pray, to all who are called to any office and ministry for your people; and so fill them with the truth of your doctrine, and clothe them with holiness of life, that they may faithfully serve before you, to the glory of your great Name and for the benefit of your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. (BCP Prayer for Clergy)
