Hello Everyone, We are invited to join "Eastern Avenue Christian Reformed Church on April 21, 2024 at 4:30 PM, for a panel discussion among LGBTQ+ affirming churches from a variety of denominations in the area. We will spend some time listening to each other's stories and learning about how we extend hospitality to our LGBTQ+ siblings."
Heidi Armock will be serving on the panel. You are invited to support Heidi and our siblings in Christ as we continue to seek to be the "Beloved Community" that Jesus calls us to be.
Our presence also will show our support for Eastern Avenue CRC as they seek to become more open and affirming. The church is located at 514 Eastern Avenue, SE and a light supper will follow the discussion.

St. John’s Church offers two opportunities each Wednesday evening via Zoom. All are welcome to attend either or both.
7:30pm – Evening Prayer. This is an opportunity to share joys and concerns, seek spiritual refreshment, pray together, and catch up with each other in the middle of the week. Outstanding sacred music is included.
8:00-9:15pm – A podcast featuring Marcus Little on the story of Jonah from the Hebrew Bible. The April 10 podcast, "What's Eating Jonah," will explore Jonah's feelings in response to God's call for him to prophesy at Nineveh, and why Jonah fled instead of obeying God's call.

8:00-9:00pm – Lecture and discussion of The Apostolic Fathers featuring Dr. Bart Ehrman. At each evening session we will listen to an audio lecture by Prof. Ehrman and then discuss the content. The Apostolic Fathers were Christian writers of the second century CE whom tradition connected with the original apostles of Jesus. Their writings are important for understanding the development of the early Church in the period immediately following the time of the New Testament. We anticipate a very interesting and informative lecture and discussion. There is no cost and no book is required.
