Parish Meeting on Sunday!

Sunday, Mar. 21 - 11:30

We're at an important juncture in refitting our buildings. The Facilities Committee has been working with Gary Corey of Centerline Architects in Bennington to envision better ways of utilizing our spaces. A new concept is emerging that brings our longed-for new kitchen tantalizingly within reach rather than a distant dream.

The Committee has reported to Vestry, and together with Vestry invites all parishioners to attend a meeting Sunday, March 21 at 11:30 in order to:

- Review the goals and status of the Campaign for St. John's - Revisit the Preservation Project and hear the latest about the structural repair and refinishing of the Lower Room - Learn about a possible new plan for reconfiguring the spaces adjacent to the Lower Room, including a new kitchen. The Facilities Committee and Vestry members are eager to hear from you as we discern our best options in realizing the goals of the Campaign for St. John's.

Compline this Thursday!

A Service of Compline: a peaceful way to end the day

Bask in the beauty of ancient chant and hymns accompanied by candlelight. Our choir leads the music; those in attendance can join in or simply sit back and enjoy the sounds around them and the opportunity to give thanks for the blessings of the day.

This contemplative service lasts 20 minutes.
Join us.
