At St. John's
Meditation on Tuesdays at 4:00 at St. John's. Please join us for 30 minutes of shared silence and "prayer of the heart," an ancient meditative practice of the Christian tradition. All are welcome! We meditate sitting on chairs, though if you prefer to sit on the floor, feel free to bring a mat or cushion. If you are new to meditation, have questions or concerns, or would like more information, please contact Mother Kathleen.
Westside Food Pantry Recital Series--Saturday, October 7 at 6:30--the Kelley Farm band composed of Rick Barter, Amy Kurman and Beth Herrick on vocals and ukuleles, Jim Vekasi on vocals and octave mandolin and Tom Karnofsky on bass perform for our food pantry. Their music will feature multi-part harmonies, and string improvisation on American folk, jazz and popular songs. Suggested donation-$10--ALL proceeds go to our food pantry. Contact-Susan Buell- 244-8061
Backpacks, etc.: The Pemetic/Tremont School Backpack Program has restarted with 21 children this Fall. The Westside Food Pantry supports the purchase of nonperishable goods and some members of St. John's Church donate money to cover the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables each week. We are asking the four area Churches to help us with specific backpack items in order to defray some of the cost to the Pantry. St. John's is slated for boxes of soft granola type snack bars.
We also stock a box in the back pew with donated staples such as canned meat or fish, peanut butter, rice, beans, pasta, sauce, mac & cheese, cereals, soups, juice, fruit and veggies. You might keep this in mind as you shop. Every bit helps.
All items may be left in the undercroft when the office is open or brought to Church on Sundays.

Hurricane Maria's path over the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean is expected to bring significant hardship to those already affected by Hurricane Irma. We are working with local Church partners to support their preparation for and response to the ongoing hurricane season. In addition, ERD continues to address urgent needs in communities – from Texas to Florida to Georgia – that have been impacted by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey. Please donate through the organization's website and get more information about relief and recovery efforts or send a check. FMI: http://www.episcopalrelief.org.
