This Trip is a Fall Treat. We will visit the corn maze. There are pumpkins to pick, hayrides and mini golf. We begin with individual lunches at their Henway Cider Barn at 11:00 am, then spend the afternoon touring the Farm. Reservations for the first twelve Trippers should be made by sending $12 admission fee to Tim Barwick in the Parish Office with “Farm” on the memo line. Carpools will leave the St. John's Church parking lot at 10:00 am. Qestions? Contact Greg Dole or Deborah Page. See more excursions HERE. Excursion schedule subject to change.

Please join us for a free concert celebrating our newly rebuilt Murphy Sanctuary Steinway piano, featuring Christopher Schmitt, pianist of “The President’s Own” Chamber Orchestra, and Zino Bogachek, violinist in the National Opera Orchestra. In the spirit of spooky season, the program serves up devilishly delectable selections from Paganini, Prokofiev, Bolcolm and Chausson. Light reception to follow in Shears Hall. A lovely Saturday evening “appetizer!”

Fun for all ages! Kids can travel from trunk-to-trunk trick-or-treating while adults meet, greet, mix, and mingle! A simple dinner of grilled hotdogs and chips will be provided at 5:00 pm, followed by Trunk or Treat at 5:30. We’ll finish our time with prizes for the best trunks. 

If you would like to participate with your trunk or help with grilling and a few other tasks, please sign up to volunteer HERE. This will be a gathering for the whole parish and for all ages plus a fun opportunity to engage with the community.

Join us for a discussion of David Guterson’s Snow Falling on Cedars. Against the background of a murder mystery, a community must confront memories of the fate of its Japanese American residents during World War II. Contact. For questions or the Zoom link, contact the Parish Office or Nancy Simon .

Join us for a screening of My Name is Pauli Murray, the 2021 documentary film chronicling the life of the trailblazing Black, non-binary, queer activist, lawyer, poet, and priest Pauli Murray. The film is told largely through Murray’s own words from memoirs and other writings, revealing their unique and extraordinary journey as an overlooked but profoundly influential figure in American history. You are welcome to bring your dinner or snacks as we enjoy and discuss the film together.
