Happening at St. John's:Wednesday Lenten Gatherings
Our Lenten Wednesday gatherings continue this Wednesday. We will be focusing on what Mathew talks about in Chapter 6 of his gospel regarding almsgiving, prayer, forgiveness, and fasting. This familiar passage is read every year on Ash Wednesday. Our Wednesday services will be hybrid meetings. If you can’t join us in person, please join in the discussion via Zoom (sign up for e-News to get the link). Call Committee Updates
Last week, the Call Committee met with Pastor Hemphill, Assistant to the Bishop for the Synod, to review the Ministry Site Profile and discuss next steps. The Ministry Site Profile should soon be available on the “Current Openings” page of the ELCA website for all interested pastors to read. Please continue to hold the Call Committee in your prayers as they move forward. Inquiries can be made to callcommittee@stjohnsatlanta.org. For more information about the call process, click HERE.
