Dear new friends of St. John's in the Mountains,

Thank you for joining St. John's in the Mountains for worship and fellowship. Participating in the life of any faith community for the first time may be a risky venture for you, coupled with the hope of meeting God in a new way with a new faith community. We are honored you took this risk with us. You are a vital member of our faith community, even if you have been with us for only a few Sundays.

I invite you and your family to join me for a newcomers gathering on Friday, May 19 starting at 6:30p at St. John's in the Mountains. Light appetizers will be served. This gathering will be a time to meet the clergy and members of parish leadership in a social setting so we may get to know one another and for you to learn more about St. John's in the Mountains, our mission and ministry in Lamoille County, and beyond. 

Please RSVP by Wednesday, May 17. If you are unable to attend this gathering, not to worry, we will be hosting another newcomer's event this summer.

I look forward to seeing you on the 19th.

 Blessings,

Father Rick Swanson, rector
