Rhythms of Grace
Rhythms of Grace, a monthly worship service on the first Sunday at 1 p.m. was designed to meet the needs of families with children on the Autism Spectrum and with other special needs.

news from
church school
The Church School teachers are very excited about the new curriculum - "Godly Play," modeled after the Montessori design of education. It combines storytelling with individual or small group response to the story using the sets of pieces to tell the story. We hope that members of the parish will help effect the change by donating toward the program sets, which cost approximately $200 each, or by helping to make some of the pieces with our in-house carpentry skills.

Linda Snyder gave the students books. The younger kids looked a lot more interested than the older ones. She also had a gift for the teachers who have been so dedicated to this ministry.
The choir sang a clandestinely rehearsed number. Parishioners contributed to a generous gift. Kevin brought flowers. All in all it was a fun way to thank Halyna for 10 wonderful years of sharing her musical gifts with the parish. And the best part was that we managed to surprise her.
Once again we honored our high school graduates and gave them a small gift to remind them of St. Johns. Good luck! On a hot June day the New Hartford Garden Club visited the Gill Garden, thanks to Norma Pappalardos invitation and hard work They were curious about the plants and glad to get into the cooler shade of the gazebo.
On June 16 Evelyn Josephine Chicoski was baptized at St. Johns. Her parents are Ed and Jessica, and Marlita is her big sister! We welcome her into the household of God!
Austin Marek has worked for many months to build a shed for St. Johns as his Eagle Scout project. Hes had several helpers we knowespecially Mac Wilson. Weather hasnt helped rain and heat on work days. Now the siding is being installed. Check it out .
