Goin' down to the river to pray...

What’s better than coming together to worship at St. John’s, Trinity, or Cranmer Chapel this weekend? How about a joint service on the banks of the Colorado River…followed by lunch! (more details below)
Not only that, but Bishop Kym will also be with us for our joint visitation.
So, break out your sunscreen and sun hat. Put on your out “go for a walk in the woods shoes” and come join the party!
And while you're at it, why not invite a friend or neighbor to come with you?
See you at the river,

Blessings,

Matthew+

Grant, O merciful God, that your Church, being gathered together in unity by your Holy Spirit, may show forth your power among all peoples, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (BCP p. 232)

Coming up...

Sunday Morning Bible Study: Gospel of Luke

We will not have bible study this coming Sunday as we will be having our Worship at the River.

We hope you will join in with us for Sunday morning bible study next week as we finish our study working our way through Luke 24:13-35: Witnesses whose eyes were opened and Luke 24:36-53: Jesus prepares his Witnesses.

Revisiting Mission and Vision

Last year many of us did some discerning work together around Mission and Vision here at St. John's.

This summer I reached out to Nancy Kinney, our Regional Missioner who referred me to Karla Randle Schapansky from St. John's in Breckenridge as someone who might help us finish our work on Mission and Vision.

Karla headed up the Strategic Mission Grants for Diocese of Texas for a number of years and has help numerous congregations and non-profits get clear on their mission and vision.

Karla and her husband Allen hope to join us on Sunday so she can begin to get to know a bit about us.  She is excited to get to work on helping us move forward.

Prayer Ministry

Our Prayer Ministers lift the suffering to our Father in prayer all day, every day. Some ministers pray after they awaken and others before they sleep. As their hearts beckon, most also pray several times during the day. If we may put you or someone you care for on the prayer list, please contact Janet Chubb at sherpani1@yahoo.com or (785) 409-5595. Except for the first name, which is read during the Prayers for the People at each Sunday service, Prayer Ministers hold all other information in confidence.
