The first Sunday of every month, St. John’s in the Mountains
collects food to support the Lamoille County Food Share.

Our 2025 goal is to collect 120 bags of groceries.
To date, we have collected 155 bags!

Following church on Sunday November 30, 2025, David Small will be distributing a suggested shopping list. Please fill any bag you want; paper, plastic or reusable, bring it to church with you on Sunday, December 7th and place it on the Altar before service begins.

If you are unable to be here you can still contribute by making an online donation.

A suggested donation of $25 for a Green Bag is appreciated, but any
contribution is welcome. Thank you for your generosity.

Your donation can be made online at this link - Fill Any Bag Ministry Donations.

Green bags are also available for pick up during the week on Tuesday and Thursday between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm.

Together we will share God’s love and heed the call of Jesus to serve
those who need our assistance.

   Dear Parish and Friends,

   We would like to welcome you all to St. Johns in the Mountains 2025/26 Seasons of Giving campaign “Tell out my Soul”.  We hope you will all follow us during this journey.

   You might be asking yourself, what is this theme and what does it mean? 
What is it to Tell out my Soul? Telling out your soul is simply Encouraging Christians to proclaim Gods Greatness and message of Salvation. 

    St. Johns in the Mountains has a long history of parishioners serving God and his message, and we do it in many ways.  We ask you to look for and learn from materials including many reflections and discussions, that will help us spread this message all the way up to the conclusion of the campaign this Fall.

On behalf of the Seasons of Giving committee,

David Small, Pete Johnson, Andy Rodman

Wednesday’s at 5:30 PM

Open Position - Full-Time Priest

Liturgical Style and Practice

Our worship is rooted in the Episcopal/Anglican tradition, primarily Rite II with a “low church” feel that is reverent yet welcoming. Music is central, with organ, piano, and hymns from the 1982 Hymnal enriching our prayer. Parishioners value the consistency and comfort of familiar liturgy, while also appreciating variety in Morning Prayer, Wednesday Eucharists, and seasonal services such as Compline and the Easter Vigil. Some hope for occasional Rite I. Our liturgical style balances tradition and accessibility, with worship that is serious, joyful, and deeply connective.

Strengths

We helped found the Lamoille Community House homeless shelter and continue to support the Lamoille Community Food Share. We are active in the Greater Stowe Interfaith Council, joining with Jewish, Unitarian, and other Christian congregations for peace walks, MLK Day events, and shared worship. Our building is used for AA meetings, concerts, art exhibits, and gatherings, extending hospitality to the town. In recent years, we renewed the Simple Soup Suppers ministry, offering meals open to all in the community. These gatherings provide both physical nourishment and fellowship, and have become a touchstone for hospitality and outreach. They draw parishioners and neighbors into deeper connection, while offering care to those experiencing need. This revitalized ministry reflects our parish's values of service, welcome, and shared fellowship. And we are in Stowe, VT, a beautiful city, overlooked by Mount Mansfield, known for its trails and ski slopes!

Challenges

The primary challenge is that this congregation's priest of some 15 years has left and they will need to stretch to afford a full-time priest. 

Comments

There is consideration of forming a possible constellation with a neighboring parish which would ease the financial situation. And they will consider a recently ordained deacon or priest. Parishioners have responded to these changes with understandable sadness but also with gratitude and resilience. They have lay leaders with corporate experience and good management skills.
