This year at St. John’s, we are excited to be expanding our Lenten activities to include those who are connected to our church online. Just a simple act, like reflecting on our daily Facebook meditations or posting our thoughts on the bishop’s online Bible Study, can help us connect and get to know one another.

Christ’s Peace,
