Third Sunday after Pentecost

Holy Eucharist, Rite II

June 14, 2026

Dear People of Saint John's,

This Sunday we celebrate the Third Sunday of Pentecost with three baptisms!  (Perhaps we will have four baptisms on the Fourth Sunday of Pentecost!) Ana Gomez, Elizabeth Greeniaus, and Nolan Northrup will be receiving this sacrament of new life, and I have the privilege of preaching.  Coffee hour will be provided by the hospitality committee.  Do come!

We have been asked by Bishop Jeremiah to pray for the upcoming revival with former Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, and he has written a mighty prayer:

Animating God,

In the waters of baptism

you have brought us to life

and have clothed us in your Spirit:

We humbly ask you to stir up within us a sacred longing; Put a new prayer in our hearts;

Crown our heads with the flame of revival.

So that our hands might offer your healing,

our mouths proclaim your Good News,

our lives so shine forth with your love,

that the whole world might see your salvation.

We pray this in the name of your risen Son, Jesus, who with you, and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

And now for some News from the Shepherd's Storehouse Pantry:

On Saturday, June 6, our food pantry served 114 families. This is the largest number of folks we have received since returning after the Covid pause—reaffirming the importance of this ministry in our community. Our visitors gratefully received toilet paper, laundry detergent, eggs, cabbage, potatoes, apples, oranges, cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, red and green peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Through the Capital Roots Squash Hunger Program, we were able to distribute in limited quantities Napa cabbage, rhubarb, mixed herbs, mixed greens, Shitake mushrooms, carrots, and additional tomatoes, assorted summer squash, and eggs.

We are most grateful to all the volunteers who helped to set up, pick up, pack, and/or distribute the items to our guests: Mother Judith, Deacon Paul, Pascal Bassene, Dot Cadwell, Paul Carney, Jr., Marva Domeck, Claudia Dyer, George Firth, Bill Hodkinson, Gene Kane, Betty Kappes, Jamie McDonald, Carol McTague, Linda Muller, Kathy O’Brien, Pete Ostwald, Andrew Phillips, Kris Smith, Greg Stanton, and Bill Stewart. 

The Summer St. John's Herald is up on the website here and available in the Narthex on 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.

The services and bulletins are found below." Come join in worship!

With gratitude for our life together,

Mother Judith

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.
