A prayer for the Sundays in April Lord, make us instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. St. John’s clergy is naming the 2017/2018 academic year THE YEAR OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Each month will focus on one of the nine fruits of the Spirit mentioned in Galatians: love, joy, peace, longsuffering (patience), gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. April’s theme is PEACE.

Sermons
On this Palm Sunday, beginning Holy Week, Father Robert describes it also as holy time that can add meaning and purpose to all the other weeks of the year. “Who is in the Communion of Saints?”. Sermons help us to reflect on the scriptures that are shared during worship and to gain a new understanding on how these teachings are relevant in our daily lives. For additional sermons go to the menu tab titled “Sermons” at the top of this page to see and hear some of this year’s preachers.
Events
St. John is active in a variety of events including special musical performances, lecture series, travel opportunities, and social ministry volunteer work. At one Sunday service, we partnered with Oregon Episcopal School; students shared some of the ways the church helped them in their faith and in social ministries:
