Seasons’ Greetings from St. John’s!
From the Rector:
Congratulations to our newly baptized sister Olivia, and thank you all for such a blessed new year. St. John’s has gown from nothing to something and it would quickly return to nothing if it wasn’t for all you amazing people! I look forward to more amazing experiences in the year to come. Merry Christmas, Happy Advent, and a Joyous Epiphany for you all!
Rev. Deacon Joe Revels

June 23rd – Seekers Assemble!
After a dreadfully long hiatus, St. John’s is back and better than ever. We will be having a zoom call for all of our members and all of those who have expressed interest in the community over the past year. The call will be on the evening of June 23rd, at 7:00pm Eastern and anyone interested in being on the call should contact Reverend Joe at [email protected]
Narthex No More! – June 5th, 2021
With the Ordination of Brother Joe Revels to Major Orders, St. John the Baptist Narthex becomes St. John the Baptist Parish! This creates a number of new rights and responsibilities for the leadership as well as members, the most important of which is the ability and the requirement to hold regular Johannite Mass. This change in format will be discussed at our next meeting.
Ordination to the Deaconate – June 5th, 2021
As of June 5th, 2021, our Narthex leader, Joe Revels, has been ordained into the Major Orders of the church as a Deacon on his way (hopefully!) to the priesthood in years to come. But before that time, he is commited to performing his duties to the church to a level of excellence worthy of the title with which he has been bestowed. As always, Reverend Joe is available for questions, discussions, and people interested in St. John’s Parish via email at [email protected]
Meetings Cancelled
Because of the continuing situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, Narthex meetings are cancelled until further notice. However, our Narthex leader, Reverend Mr. Joe Revels will still be available via Skype, Google Hangouts, or other online contact method. If anyone needs prayer or a kind ear during this troubling time, do not hesitate to contact him via email at [email protected] .
Also, we regret to inform everyone that due to the continuing threat of the virus and the closing of borders to travel, Conclave has been cancelled as well. This has been especially hard on our Patriarch so remember him in your prayers.
Conclave is on the way!
Don’t forget to book your trip to Conclave this year. It is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada at the Seat of St. John, in St. Joseph of Arimethea Parish. I’ll be there this year and I’ll be happy to coordinate travel plans with anyone else in the area that wishes to go.
Details available here.
