Upcoming Events
DEADLINE: September 4TH
Once again, this year, the congregation of St. John’s is working with the Torrington Social Services to respond with the necessary school supplies for local needy students. If you would like to help, make checks out to “St. John's”, and write “school supplies” in the memo line. Donations will be noted on your annual Pledge Statements. As always, thank you very much for your kind support for these kids. See Veronique Dulack for more information.
For those who love to sing in church, St. John’s welcomes pick-up singers to join the “summer choir,” which begins on Sunday, June 30th. Those who wish to participate on any given Sunday during the summer months are welcome to just show up a few minutes early in the choir stalls to go over the congregational hymns and propers for the day with the organist. Please invite your friends and neighbors to come and make a joyful noise!

St. John's Reading Club
CURRENT SELECTION
Brian Moore's "The Colour off Blood" to
gather for a Group Discussion via ZOOM, so start reading now.
The Colour of Blood is a political thriller about Stephen Bem, a Cardinal in an unnamed East European country who is in conflict with the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy and finds himself caught in the middle of an escalating revolution, where held against his will at a safe house after an assignation attempt, Cardinal Bem is unsure whether his captors work for the government or for the Catholic Church.
The St. John's Reading Club is open to the public and meets regularly via ZOOM to discuss a novel previously selected. It is assumed that all participants will have already read the book by the time of the meeting, at which all will be welcome to discuss their reactions to the work with all the others gathered.
The Washington Refugee Resettlement Project (WRRP) is an IRIS Community Co-Sponsor!
