Invest in the spiritual future of St. John's Youth-specifically parish Youth mission trips-by taking stock in our Youth program!

On Sunday, February 13, our 6th through 12th graders, will be available in Eve's Garden to discuss our program to potential "investors" and how we are "incorporating" under the laws of heaven. Stock will be available for purchase in person at the event, and then through the St. John's website for $25 a share, through February 20.

Upon making your investment, you will receive a stock certificate, and shareholders will be able to see the benefits of their investment, at a shareholders' dinner when our mission team returns from Quito, Ecuador.

There is no limit on the number of shares you can purchase. We invite you to purchase as much stock as possible in our Youth program, as an investment in our faith community and mission trip fundraising efforts.

With your help, our young people are able to serve as Christ's light in the world through annual mission work!

Use this simple liturgy to make Ash Wednesday accessible to people of all ages.

We wanted to make Ash Wednesday, a day that in many places is observed largely by adults, more approachable for families, so I carefully adapted this service from the Book of Common Prayer, using clear, accessible language, and chose beautiful, simple music that can be taught in the moment. We receive the cross of ashes in the same place as the cross of oil we receive at baptism, for the same reason: to remind us that we were created in love, we belong to God, and we will return to God.

Click here to download the service. Music is from Wonder, Love and Praise and the scripture reading comes from The Bible for Children, retold by Murray Watts. This service is freely shared, please note the original author when doing so.

In the decade since I first adapted the service, it's been used widely across the Episcopal Church and in many Episcopal schools. My favorite memory is of the year two American Girl dolls left the service offered in a large, midtown Manhattan church with ashes on their foreheads! Eventheir "mothers" wanted to remind them that we belong to God.
Wendy Claire Barrie is the author of Faith at Home: A Handbook for Cautiously Christian Families and is at work on her next book, about intergenerational ministry, The Church Post-Sunday School, coming in Spring 2021 from Church Publishing. She works and worships at Trinity Church Wall Street where she is responsible for Children and Family Faith Formation and Education.

We are an energetic, joyful, mission-minded parish growing in diversity, depth of faith, and engagement with the world around us.

We are a big tent: black, white, and bi-racial, LGBTQI+, gender-diverse, progressive and conservative, young and not-so-young. It's rare these days, but we truly do aim to stay in loving relationship with one another, despite the tensions that sometimes accompany this kind of diversity. We don't always do it perfectly, but we try.

Together we cultivate a life of faith and hope, practice hospitality and inclusive community, and inspire all to grow as agents of Christ-like love, generosity, and justice in the world.

We invite you to come and see what this community of faith is like. You may just find the spiritual community you've been searching for.

FROM THE RECTOR & ASSISTANT RECTOR

Dear and Beloved Friends,

​

I have now written several versions of this. Frankly, they all go on too long.

​

​Reflecting further on what is most important, I realize that everything I so want to say comes down to three things.

​

​First, God has done great work at St. Matt's in 2021. The pages to come detail this work. Marvel at the many ways that in such adverse circumstances, God poured out God's blessing upon us! Praise God's holy name!

Looking for a positive discipline for Lent? Request a Lenten Prayer Partner!

The Lenten Prayer Partner ministry gets underway on Ash Wednesday - March 2. Everyone who signs up is secretly assigned a partner for whom they agree to pray for daily during Lent and remember weekly with a note or card. Correspondence should be sent via US Mail to remind these individuals that they are in your prayers. In turn, their name is given to someone else who prays for and remembers them.

All ages from kindergarten through age 125 are encouraged to participate! This is a lot of fun, but also a commitment. Once you or your child signs up, please remember to pray daily and recognize Prayer Partners weekly.

If you are interested in being a secret Prayer Partner for someone at St. John's, please fill out the form below (or fill out a hard copy of the form in the church office) by Wednesday, February 23. You'll know your form was successfully submitted when you see a confirmation message. We will be in touch with details about your Lenten Prayer Partner!

Sign-ups for our 2022 program are now closed!

The purpose of an intentional faith-based small group is to build trusting relationships with God and one another. When we meet each other for conversation, practice, and prayer, we learn how to love. Call it a small group, discipleship circle, neighborhood group, life group or cell gathering - whatever the name, a small group provides space for prayerful support and accountability as we seek to live the Jesus Way.

Your small group may be a new discipleship group or you may decide to add a new level of intention to a circle like the vestry, Bible study, youth group, altar guild, choir, or chapters of the Episcopal Church Women, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, or Daughters of the King. The goal is to open the door for God to work on us, in us, and through us, in powerful ways in the context of a small, intentional, dedicated group of disciples.

Here you will find a variety of resources to help you build these groups - with great intention and purpose - for your context.

Creación de grupos pequeños conscientes

Materiales para la creación de un ministerio consciente de grupos pequeños en su congregación

El propósito de un grupo pequeño consciente basado en la fe es construir relaciones de confianza con Dios y unos con otros. Cuando nos encontramos para conversar, practicar y orar, aprendemos a amar. Llámese un grupo pequeño, un círculo de discipulado, un grupo de vecinos, un grupo de vida o una reunión celular: cualquiera que sea el nombre, un grupo pequeño proporciona espacio para el apoyo en la oración y la responsabilidad mientras buscamos vivir el Camino de Jesús.

Su grupo pequeño puede ser un nuevo grupo de discipulado, puede decidir agregar un nuevo nivel de intención a un círculo como la junta parroquial, el estudio bíblico, la agrupación de jóvenes, la sociedad del altar, el coro o capítulos de Mujeres Episcopales, la Hermandad de San Andrés, o las Hijas del Rey. El objetivo es abrir la puerta para que Dios obre en nosotros, y a través de nosotros, de manera poderosa en el contexto de un grupo de discípulos pequeño, consciente y dedicado.

Aquí encontrará una variedad de materiales para ayudarlo a crear estos grupos -con gran deliberación y propósito- para su contexto.

Constitution de groupes de partage intentionnels

Ressources pour la constitution d'un ministère de groupes de partage intentionnels dans votre congrégation

L'objectif d'un groupe de partage intentionnel confessionnel est de développer des relations de confiance avec Dieu et entre les membres. Lorsque nous nous retrouvons pour discuter, pratiquer notre foi et prier, nous apprenons à aimer. Que vous l'appeliez un groupe de partage, un cercle de discipulat, un groupe de quartier, un groupe de vie ou un rassemblement cellulaire, quel que soit le nom qu'on lui donne, un groupe de partage offre un espace de soutien et de responsabilisation par la prière dans notre quête pour suivre la Voie de Jésus.

Votre groupe de partage peut être un nouveau groupe de discipulat ou vous pouvez décider d'ajouter une nouvelle dimension d'intention à un cercle comme le conseil paroissial, un groupe d'étude biblique, un groupe de jeunes, la Guilde de l'Autel, la chorale ou un chapitre des Femmes de l'Église épiscopale, de la Brotherhood of St. Andrew ou des Daughters of the King. Le but est d'ouvrir la porte à l'action de Dieu sur nous, en nous et à travers nous, intensément, dans le contexte d'un petit groupe de disciples dévoué et intentionnel.

Vous trouverez ici un éventail de ressources qui vous aideront à constituer ces groupes - avec intention et dessein - pour votre contexte donné.
