• You might have seen our own Amanda featured in this month’s insights, talking about Lay Ministry training. The Living is Giving website has another part of the same interview, in which Amanda was asked about her work with kids. Read it on the Living is Giving website!

  • Starting at Pentecost this year, I’d like to encourage as many members of St. John’s as possible to join me in the E100 reading program. E100 is 100 passages from the Bible, 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New, which give a broad overview of the scriptures as a whole.

Journal

The St John’s Journal is issued three to four times a year. Its purpose is to provide a vehicle of communication and to inform members of the St John’s congregation of news, initiatives, and events which are either pending or have recently occurred. It also imparts information on the wider outreaches of our church.

Each issue aims to include the stories of one or two members of the congregation. They give a brief synopsis of their lives so that membership of the church family can becomes much friendlier and more neighbourly. It is distributed to many past members of the St John’s family and as such provides a welcome link.

It also seeks to be an historical document recording baptisms, marriages and deaths within the congregation. Copies can be kept for the church archives.

The Journal has existed in its present form since 2006, with Rosemary Maclean as its editor and Bob Potter and David Maclean providing most of the photographs. Contributions to the Journal are always welcome and can be submitted to journal@stjohnswahroonga.org or directly to Rosemary.
