Eastertide as the Way of Love: A friend of mine is expecting their first child this week, his wife is tired of being pregnant and can’t wait to be released from the heartburn and difficulties of sleeping. While my friend can see his wife’s body changing and knows that ‘they’ are expecting, he definitively knows…

Spring has arrived, with all of its promise of hope, renewal and rebirth! If you haven’t been to St. John’s recently, you may not be aware of the buzz of activity taking place.  It’s subtle, it’s still growing, but it’s palpable.   And it’s a sure sign that St. John’s is emerging from a long winter…

Message from Jane Hill, Preschool Director

Jane Hill, Messages from Staff and Wardens, PreschoolBy Barbara KwiatekMarch 23, 2021

As I reflect on this last year, I’ve thought about what I’ve really missed that I’m sure I have taken for granted in the past; spending time with my grandchildren, family, friends, and worshiping in our sanctuary with my church family.  The list goes on and on. For me, one of the things I’ve especially…

Is it just me, or does Lent feel different this year? As we pass the one-year mark under the grips of the COVID pandemic, I can’t help but think “where was I when…?”  For example, I realized that this week marks one full year since my last business trip – the longest I have been…

Message from Joy Shillingsburg, Dir. Youth & Outreach Ministries

Joy Shillingsburg, Messages from Staff and WardensBy Barbara KwiatekMarch 2, 2021

As we “Walk with Jesus” this Lent by studying the Stations of the Cross together, we focus on Station 5 this week:  Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross.  For me, the genius of Henri Nouwen’s little book on the Stations of the Cross is that he invites us to relate the well known…

Message from Sarah Bentley Allred, Director of Children & Family Ministries

One of my favorite Godly Play stories (although it is hard to choose!) is “The Circle of the Church Year.” With words, color, and gesture this story explores the Christian view of time. “Some people say that time is in a line,” the storyteller explains. But as Christians we know that “for every ending there is a…

Wake Forest Community — Covid Memorial

Covid, Joy ShillingsburgBy Barbara KwiatekFebruary 22, 2021

Wake Forest Community — Covid Memorial   What: All are welcome to use the large outdoor labyrinth at St. John’s Episcopal Church (a circular meandering path meant for walking and reflection that leads you to a center point and guides you back out to an exit point) to honor and remember all who have been…

Springing into Lent: A Way of Worship for the St. John’s Family during the Lenten Season  Soon we will “spring forward”.  As we turn clocks ahead and anticipate the brighter, lighter weather of Spring, let us also couple this with a spirit of “springing” into Lent. Instead of thinking of Lent, Good Friday, and Easter as…

Message from Mo. Sarah Phelps, St. John’s Rector

Messages from Staff and Wardens, Sarah PhelpsBy Barbara KwiatekFebruary 12, 2021

I have a bunch of gangly hydrangea bushes along the fence in my back yard and a few camellia bushes that have gotten very leggy. They need to be pruned back now so they’re ready for the burst of growth coming this spring. If I don’t do the pruning, the bushes just get more unmanageable…
