Come for supper and discuss the direction of the new St. John’s web site—Thursday, May 9th at 5:45 PM.
Paul Newell and Jake Sterling have been working hard on the web site and the redesign is complete; or, anyway, it has reached the point where it can be used. Small changes will still be made as we discover what is needed. But now the site is crying out for content. The questions are, what kind of content? What is the web site for? Who is the web site for?
From the Rector:
Given the tragedy at the Boston Marathon on Monday, recent efforts within our diocese to address the prevalence of violence in our city and culture are even more timely. This week, I am inviting you to read two different letters from Bishop Tom Shaw. One is his Easter letter to the congregations of the dioceses, and the other is in response to the marathon bombings. Each contains invitations for us to respond in a variety of ways to the Christian calling to be peacemakers in the world. May God guide all of our responses in the days ahead.
Faithfully,
Tom

Louis and Jack Tompros attended last year, and highly recommend it! There is more information at church on Sunday, and you can also talk with Louis and Jack.
