“Our deep longing is for the kind of friendships where we feel supported, valued, and seen for who we are—something we rarely experience and that may seem unattainable.”
“Beyond the music, which I absolutely love, one of the things I really like about St. John’s is the commitment to service and engagement with the community.”
“Chris’s degree is in art and they’re usually working on some creative artistic project. ‘I’ve also been a fantasy geek for a long time—currently very interested in Tolkein, if anyone wants to talk about that.’”
“Anne is a lifelong Episcopalian. She ran into Sue Mercier at Marvella where they live and discovered they were both Episcopalians. Sue had been attending St. John’s and invited Anne to join her.”
“Heidi was looking for an LGBTQ+ affirming church and came across the Episcopal denomination. They decided to stay at St John’s and become a member because of the thriving community and the enthusiastic, diverse congregation.”
“Sue came to St. John’s through checking out the online broadcasts of services of various churches in the Twin Cities. She appreciated the beauty and comfort of our services as well as the music.”
“Baptisms and weddings publicly solemnify (to use a fancy church word) things that could be private commitments (to raise a child in the faith, to be in a committed loving relationship).
The rituals of reception and confirmation are similar. Like a wedding ceremony, they are public acts that create a new relational reality–one that not simply reflects the interior reality, but makes it publicly manifest in a special way.”
“The moment I stepped through the door into the sanctuary I loved it. I felt at home.”
