In this Easter Season we invite our parish to practice the Way of Love by participating in Formation, Outreach and Fellowship offerings for all ages.  In April we will begin the journey by examining Environmental Justice together on Wednesday evening 4/14 for a discussion on climate change and race followed by a day of outreach at the Northeast Community Garden on Saturday 4/17.

Rev. Lorraine Ljunggren will lead Wednesday evening discussions in April and May that help us explore our Baptismal Covenant focusing on “where the rubber meets the road” when it comes to living a life of faith or seeking faith. Much like the Ten Commandments, our Baptismal promises have to do with how we live as individuals and as a community of people. The promises are included in The Book of Common Prayer (which can be found at bcponline.org) on pages 304-305.

This is a 10 week series held on Wednesdays at 7 pm via Zoom.  All are welcome to join one or as many sessions as you would like!

Growing Together Pilot Program, January – May 2021
Restoring Faith, Justice, Creation

Growing Together is a free program, toolkit, and community building resource, designed for the church. The program engages congregations in faith-based conversations for practical applications of environmental healing and justice, in church and home contexts.

Developed alongside advisors at Yale’s Forum on Religion and Ecology and Oxford University’s Laudato Si’ Institute, the Growing Together Program connects the dots between faith, science, and creation care. This program is free for churches and welcomes people from all parts of the Christian family.

Growing Together is currently conducting a pilot program that is open to all member of St. John’s. This pilot is designed to help churches on the journey of restoring faith, justice, and creation. Each session (1 hour each) will feature talks from leading theologians and scientists, inspiring stories, facilitated heart-led conversation, and tools for practical implementation.

There are currently 40 churches across the country from 10 denominations participating in the pilot.
