Sunday Forum
On Sunday mornings, from 9 am until 10 am we are hosting a forum through the Zoom format on the computer to discuss issues of the week in light of the Gospel. Asking questions, "What is God doing and where can we see God at work in the current events?", "What are issues that we might be overlooking, but might be very important in the long run in light of God's work?"
"What and how might we learn something different, or be renewed in light of current circumstances in the world?"
We send out invitations for this event. If you are not receiving one and would like one, please email us and we will gladly put you on the list. stjohnsinthomaston@gmail.com

The mission of the Episcopal Church is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our mind, all our soul and all our strength; and our neighbor as ourselves.
