St. John’s in the Mountains seeks to be a spiritual home for its members and is committed to giving support, prayer, resources and encouragement to meet spiritual, mental and physical needs during times of challenge, illness or transition.
Pastoral Care
A spiritual home is a place where you feel cared for and supported by God’s love through all seasons of life. The primary purpose of the Pastoral Care Commission is to encourage a spirit of compassion in the life of the congregation, and to promote ministries for healing and wholeness. The Commission also serves to equip people for pastoral ministry, and to minister to and provide resources and education to support parishioners spiritually, mentally and physically during times of challenge, illness, death or transition.
Daily Meditation
PrayerCenter – Daily Meditation
Prayer is the practice of the presence of God. It is the place where pride is abandoned, hope is lifted, and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of adopting humility, and claiming dependence upon God. Prayer is the needful practice of the Christian. Prayer is the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Father, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.
