Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
August 31, 2025
Dear People of Saint John’s,
I have returned from a wonderful vacation with our family at Seabrook Beach in New Hampshire, and I am rested and ready for a wonderful Fall! I want to thank you all, especially Deacon Paul, for this opportunity to be renewed!
This Sunday we celebrate the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost. I have the privilege of preaching on Luke 14:7-14. When we are invited to a party, where do we sit? This parable gives us an opportunity to reflect on humility, which has been called the queen of the virtues. At the service and coffee hour we will celebrate Birthday Sunday. Do come!
The office will be closed on Monday in honor of Labor Day.
We will be having a calendar meeting after the 10 a.m. service on Sunday, September 7. This meeting gives our ministries the chance to put things on the parish calendar for the academic year, and enables us to see that we have a balanced life of ministry, fellowship, and worship here at Saint John’s.
Welcoming Sunday will be on September 14th. Ministries will have tables up to share what they have been up to, and new groups that have taken up residence in the building—Community Compass, Athletic Haven, English Country Dancers, Time to Shine—will also be there to share how our building has enabled them to fruitfully serve the community. Invite a friend to see what God is doing among us!
Hard copies of the Herald—hot off the press!—will be available at the entrance to the church this Sunday. We are providing the announcements in a separate stack from the bulletins. The announcements are also available in the Thompson Room and online. For those of you who will be worshiping with us via live stream, be sure to let us know that you are there through the chat feature, so that we can greet you at the passing of the Peace.
With gratitude for our life together,
Mtr. Judtih

What to Look For (to Send a Chat)
Once you are viewing the live stream by pressing the link above, there should be a "conversation" to the right of the stream (Top Chat). Like this:
Messages populate from the bottom of the box. You add your message by typing on the "Say something..." line and pressing Enter (or clicking/tapping on the right-pointed arrow under your message). Other messages that come in after yours will file in underneath yours in the running chat above the entry line.
If you're watching the live stream in full screen mode, you'll need to find the chat box. This might be found using the arrow at the bottom center of the screen under the red line. You'll have to click or tap on the screen to see this option, similar to when you want to pause or change the volume, etc.
See that little white down arrow/carat under the red line and Scroll for details? If you tap on that, the screen pulls up, and you see the chat box. You may need to scroll up further to see the "Say something" line.
Sunday Liturgy will be available on YouTube after the conclusion of the 10 am service.
