Graham Smith's Ab Origine art show is currently at the Ottawa Police Station 474 Elgin Street. This show was part of our Art Credo show and sale and has now moved on to a wider audiance.

At the beginning of May, the City planted a sugar maple on the Somerset Street side, a replacement for the dying tree that the City removed last year.

Volunteers: On Saturday, May 28 at 9:30, the gardening team will be planting annuals. We would be delighted to have a couple of extra volunteers. If you are able to help, please contact Gay Richardson at gay@sympatico.ca or 613-730-4404. Also, if you are interested in helping with the garden on an occasional basis, please let Gay know.

The St. Cecilia Singers of Ottawa, will be performing a concert titled Byrds of a Feather in the Chapel of Saint Paul University on Saturday 28 May at 8.00 p.m. Among the works to be performed are various songs about birds, including: a turtle dove, woodpecker, swan, blackbird and cuckoo.

Meals, tea and coffee are provided. Cost $40. Please register by May 31, 2011 to Marilyn Box.

Parish Conversations Continue
Wednesday, 8 June 2011

Thanks to so many of you who participated in our parish conversations. They will contribute to further discussion and consideration as we go forward together. However, we are aware that some of you are not able to attend after-church events on Sunday. We’re pleased therefore to offer a third opportunity for a conversation: Wednesday, June 8 at 7 pm. If you are interested in attending please let the office know by phoning 613-232-4500 or emailing office@stjohnsotawa.ca. Please leave your phone number so we can confirm details closer to the date.

June 11 and 12, 2011 marks the 25th anniversary of Gordon Johnston’s musical leadership at St. John’s. It is time to celebrate with him!! Please join the choir, orchestra and bells at a gala dinner and “entertainment” evening on Saturday, June 11th here at the church. This will be followed on Sunday, June 12th by our 10:15 church service and a concert at 2:00 pm with the present choir and alumni, orchestra and bells. Please contact Bea Robertson at choirreunion@stjohnsottawa.ca for registration form and information.

There are a limited number of seats available for the dinner so “first come, first served”!! The cost for Saturday’s dinner with wine and entertainment and Sunday’s concert - as well as an original “Saints and Singers” burgundy polo shirt is $50 per person. Please let us know if you know of any former choir members who have not been contacted so we can include them in this celebration.

As a downtown church, parking is always at a premium at St Johns. On Somerset West, a spot is reserved for the rector 24 hours; and, the space beside the dumpsters, is legally required to be kept vacant at all times as a fire exit for the safety of tenants and users of the basement.

In front of the Parish Hall on Elgin Street, two of the parking spots are reserved for the Community Shop volunteers from Monday to Saturday; the third spot is available for other parishioners on church business.

Respect for our reserved parking signs is an offering of love for our congregation, and a chance to bring joy to the lives of our dedicated volunteers.

If you have any questions, feedback or concerns about parking, please direct them to Ani at office@stjohnsottawa.ca. Regular volunteers may be reimbursed for their parking expense by submitting your receipt and a completed cheque request form to Ani's mailbox in the office.

Another successful exhibition has come and gone. Thanks go to all those who helped to bring the show to fruition including: Martha Nixon who managed a good portion of the logistics; the "hangers" led by Alex Bissett; Mary Ann and Ross Varley for the excellent refreshments at vernissage; Saskia Meuffels for assisting with the arrangements of art works; Peggy Campbell for doing the online promotion notices and each of the numerous sitters who kept the doors open for two weeks! There are others who helped in less obvious ways with a variety of valuable contributions and we thank them also. We thank all the artists for offering their work for display, including ten new people, without whom there would be nothing to see! The good number of sales made, lent to the show a sense of appreciation by the wider public. Anyone interested in assisting with this annual event should contact Martha Nixon or Jack Fisher.

Caitlin Beck has uploaded more than a dozen new photo albums to St John's Facebook page:

The albums include "OMG Regional Youth Retreat 2011", Our Pascal Meal, 2011, several albums on the choir and MANY more!

As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ." Galatians 3:27 As last week's baptisms remind us, the Easter season is a time to reflect on the gift of baptism and what it calls us to do. To help us do this, we will be keeping the baptismal font with water in it in the middle of the centre aisle throughout the Easter season.

Parish Council, on Tuesday this week, accepted the warden's recommendation that Bill Broughton be appointed Deputy Warden. The position of Deputy Warden was left vacant when Monica Patten's was appointed as Rector's Warden by the Bishop. We are delighted to have Bill's experience and wisdom at Corporation and Parish Council meetings.

MHI's annual fundraising Tulipathon Walk on May 1 raised approximately $23,000. On behalf of St John's Affordable Housing Committee and MHI, thanks so much to all of you who generously donated more than $1,000 to this walk in support of MHI's work in creating more affordable housing for the homeless and those at risk of homelessness in our city.

Until further notice, the monthly Eucharist for Integrity Ottawa is discontinued. Members and friends of Integrity are instead invited to contact Ron Chaplin at rchaplin@netrover.com for further information.

There is a new Flower Calendar in the hall outside the Church hall. Please write your name beside the date you choose to celebrate with flowers. It does not have to be for a memorial but can be for a special celebration such as a birthday or a wedding anniversary. Some dates are kept on a regular basis for people who have donated flowers on those dates for many years. There can be more than one lot of flowers on the same date.

Do you enjoy flowers and floral arranging? The flowers that we have been arranging for the past two years have been much admired. With a couple of new people on the team the job would come along every once in a while.

If you have any announcements for the end of the service, please be sure to speak to Rob before the service; written announcements must reach the office by Wednesday before noon.

Our members are involved in over 50 ministry "activities" here at St Johns. Reports of these activities are contained in our Reports to Vestry each year.

If you are a visitor to the parish, a perusal of these reports will give you a very good idea about St Johns and how we serve the Lord in this place.

If you are member of the parish, you might find a ministry in these reports that would suit your skills and interests.

Greetings from the Carleton University Ecumenical Chaplaincy!

The Chaplaincy has a drop-in room in Tory T-20 that is open from 9 a.m. until late in the afternoon. Students of all denominations are welcome to come in to have a chat, enter into discussion, heat up their lunch in the microwave, have a free cup of coffee or tea and cookies, or simply relax and de-stress. Students can also receive on-campus counselling from our Chaplain, the Rev. Wayne Menard 613-520-4449 or wayne_menard@carleton.ca.

St. John’s Prayer chain provides confidential, daily prayer support for immediate and/or confidential prayer requests. All requests are welcomed. The Prayer Chain is a dedicated group of 16 parishioners from St John’s that agree to pray daily for a period of 2 weeks for each person on their prayer list (unless an extension is requested). Each day, one of the Prayer Captains retrieves the prayer requests from the Prayer Chain extension #21 on the St. John’s office phone system and contacts the other Prayer Chain members. To leave a prayer request for the Prayer Chain, contact the office at 613-232-4500 and ask for extension 21 or if the answering system comes on, press 21 to reach the extension directly. If needed, you may also contact one of the Prayer Chain Captains directly: Karen Berg, Marietta Stenman or Patricia Fisher.

Please be advised that St John’s has been officially notified by the Department of National Defence (DND) that the Army Officer's Mess parking lot is private property owned by DND and, as such, the previous practice of authorizing outside individuals or groups to “legally trespass” on their property cannot continue. If an accident (personal or vehicular) were to occur then DND could be made liable for damages. If St John’s Parishioners continue do use the parking lot, it is at their own risk to be ticketed and/or towed away and DND will not be responsible should this occur. While they regret the inconvenience this will cause, they ask us to please refrain from using their lot.

In order to enable people to gain a new understanding of the liturgy, Caitlin Beck will be offering an intergenerational liturgy study every Sunday morning at 9:15am. The class will offer an introduction to both the Book of Alternative Services and the St John’s Rite, the music we use during the service, the postures and gestures used in worship and the worship space. This class is for absolutely anyone and everyone to reflect on why we worship God the way we do. We will begin meeting on January 23rd in classroom 1. You can let Caitlin know if you and/or your children would be interested in participating or you can just show up.

The Shop is in dire need all men's clothing, but especially winter coats and dress shirts. Donations may be left in the blue recylcing bin outside the church office Monday to Friday 9-4.

Please note that the church office is now open Monday to Friday from 9 am. to 4 pm. We are closed for lunch from 12-1pm.

New responsibilities for Caitlin Beck: With the departure of our former Curate, we are pleased to announce that Caitlin Beck, St. John's Christian Education Coordinator, has agreed to take on some additional responsibilities. In addition to her current tasks in the Children’s and Youth Ministry, Caitlin will spend an additional 15 hours a week working on Adult Education, Pastoral Care, participating in Parish Council Meetings, working with the Worship Committee, participating in Terrific Tuesdays and preparing and delivering homilies as required. Starting January 31st, Caitlin will have established office hours during the week in addition to the time she spends at services, meetings and other special events. Our thanks to Caitlin for taking on these new responsibilities.

Artist-in-Residence – Cara Gilbertson
Soprano Cara Gilbertson is an accomplished performer and teacher. Cara was a choral scholar at St John’s during her masters degree studies at the University of Ottawa, and when she graduated, she was invited to be an “Artist-in-Residence” at St John’s. Cara and her students give frequent recitals here, and Cara’s annual Summer Vocal Academy is based here at St John’s. In the 2007-2008 concert season, Cara made her debut with The National Arts Centre Orchestra.

Choral Scholar – Ashley Cross
Ashley Cross is 18 years old and is a first year Voice major studying under the direction of Professor Ingemar Korjus. Originally from Newmarket, Ontario, Ashley has participated in many local and national festivals and competitions since the age of 13. She truly began singing when she was introduced to her original teacher Irene Ilic, who proved to be an amazing role model and the main reason she is so driven today. She is so excited to be apart of the St John’s choir and has felt nothing but warmth and welcoming for everyone in the congregation. Ashley hopes to earn her degree as a performance major.

Choral Scholar – Matthew Timmermans
18 year old, Matthew Timmermans, born and raised in Toronto, sparked an interest in music through various summer programs and musicals before he began his true development in the ARTS YORK program at Unionville High School. Matthew is currently working on a Baccalaureate of Music at the University of Ottawa where he studies with Professor Ingemar Korjus. Matthew is happy to be a part of the St. John’s Anglican Church Choir and congregation – it has only added to the dream that Ottawa has been. Hoping the next few years will help him bloom to become the best he can be, Matthew hopes to earn his degree as a performance major.

Organ Scholar – Joshua Zentner-Barrett
The newest member of our musical “team”, Josh is a grade twelve student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville. He began his organ studies with Pamela Hoswitschka at Woodroffe United Church, and now studies with Karen Holmes, Professor of Organ at the University of Ottawa. As organ scholar at St John’s, he will accompany the choir, play for the service, and perform solo organ music. This fall, he plans to study organ performance at university, with a view to becoming a professional church musician.

St. John's Affordable Housing Committee
Support for Cornerstone

Capital Campaign Cornerstone is building 42 units of supportive and affordable housing for the most vulnerable homeless women in Ottawa. The Affordable Housing Committee is committed to raising the funds to "Adopt-A-Room" at the new facility. This initiative allows groups or individuals to fund the purchase of all the furnishings for a single room including furniture, kitchen appliances and linens. This Christmas, make a difference for one homeless woman to have a home of her own through the purchase of Loblaws Gift Cards (we buy the cards at a discounted rate when we buy in volume) or a donation to the St. John's Affordable Housing Committee in support of this project. To buy Loblaws cards or for more information please see Peggy Lister in the Parish Hall following the service.

Terrific Tuesday, Calling for Soup makers. We, Teerrific Tuesday folks, have enjoyed another year of Terrific Soup! Terrific Tuesday convenes again from January 4th 2011. We will need -please sign up!

St. John's supports the Centretown Emergency Food Centre through its membership in the Centretown Churches Social Action Committee. Every month, the Food Centre (which is different from the Ottawa Food Bank) serves about 800 individuals. In a year, almost 10,000 emergency baskets are handed out.

As the churches becomes less able to give money to the Centre, our individual donations become more important. Remember the Food Centre every Sunday: give a Loblaws card, some food, or some money. The best food donations are: cans of fruit or vegetables (very non-exotic, like peaches and peas, not beets or guava), canned pasta, Kraft Dinner, cereal. Flour and baking supplies are occasionally good, but many of the clients don't have ovens or the capacity to bake. Think microwaves and can openers. Food that is too old is thrown out, so if you are cleaning out a cupboard check the dates before donating. Volunteering at the Centre is fun. Right now, there are enough volunteers, but that situation can always change. If you are interested in learning more about the Food Centre, St. John's has a number of volunteers, or you can call Kerry, the Director, at (613) 232-3059.

A Statement from the Corporation
and Parish Council of the
Church of St John the Evangelist

A Tradition of Inclusion
November 2010

The Church of St John the Evangelist strives to be a church which welcomes all people. We see ourselves as a community of seekers, grappling together with the great questions of life and faith. As a congregation, we have put a lot of prayer, thought, and planning into ways in which we can remove the barriers preventing people from finding their place amongst us and contributing to the rich diversity of life as seekers committed to Jesus’ vision of God, humankind and the future of creation.

The January to April 2011 roster will soon be drafted. If you know of a Sunday during this time that you’re not available to volunteer your time for a Sunday ministry, please contact Krister Partel (krister.partel@hc-sc.gc.ca) by Monday, December 6, 2010.

Altar Guild members, please provide Bev Bewley your availability. Alter Servers, please provide Connie Snelgrove your availability,

Do you know of someone who you think would enjoy volunteering during our Sunday services, or do you know of someone who has expressed interest in becoming more involved at St John’s? Volunteers are always welcome and appreciated. We currently need more volunteers for the following duties:

The Unison Festival is the Canadian quadrennial festival of LGBT choruses. The city of Ottawa has been awarded this festival for the year 2014. This event is expected to attract 500-700 visitors, singers and musicians to the city. After establishing a membership including members of the three LGBT choruses which rehearse at St. John's, and other interested members of the community, the organizers held their first Annual General Meeting on Sunday, October 24, 2010 at St. John's at which the bylaws of the organization were approved and a new Board of Directors was elected. Unfortunately, the position of Treasurer remains vacant. The organizers of Unison would like to extend an invitation to members of the congregation at St. John's to consider participating in the activities of Unison either as a community member ($25 yearly membership fee) or to fill the position of Treasurer. Anyone wishing more information may contact Luc Chartrand at 613-212-0584.

We have received word that there is a pleasant-looking, middle-aged couple that is visiting local churches with larceny in mind. Please ensure that you remove keys and other valuables from your pockets before you hang up your coats; bags and purses should not be left unattended. Church key holders are reminded not leave their keys unattended at any time. If you notice any suspicious behaviour, please alert a member of the staff or the duty warden.

Name tags have been printed for all parishioners and are available at both the western door and the ramp entrances to the Church. You are invited to wear your name tag to help identify you to newcomers or other parishioners with whom you may not be well-acquainted. After the service or coffee hour, please return your name tag to the box in which you found it. It helps with storing the name tags if your place the string into the plastic holder before returning it to the storage box.

The Anglican Communion News Service (in ACNS4735) on 21 September reported that Anglicans around the world are working to meet the Millennium Development Goals.

A Vision
for St Johns

On Sunday, 25 may 2008, Gerald Robinson presented
a vision for St Johns titled "Shaping Space for Worship" to the parish.
Mr Robinson's vision in now on our website.

Please phone the office with all prayer requests. Do not send these requests to the "office at St. John's" email address. Thank you.

In order to improve communications between parish members and Parish Council we have added a number of files showing the various committees and the Council members responsible for those committees as well as the roles of Patish Council and the the aganda and minutes of the recent meetings of Council.

Our Pastoral Care Committee has prepared a new brochure on the many ministry opportunities for our members in pastoral care.

In times of crisis, when praying is difficult, when connections to God seem impossible, it is comforting to know that others are praying for us. When a family member or friend is ill, it is helpful to know that a team of people is praying.

For many years, a group of 15 to 20 people have supported prayer requests. The group is organized so that the prayer requests can be passed confidentially and quickly from one person to the next until an entire chain of people is praying.

At this time we want to remind everyone that the prayer is available. If you have a request, simply call the church at 613-232-4500 and ask for the Prayer Chain line. Then leave a message. Your request will be treated confidentially and transmitted to the prayer chain. If you wish to talk to the leader, please leave contact information and someone will get back to you.

Are you on duty next Sunday?

Who helped me last week at the Welcome Table?

What are the readings for next Sunday?

Each Sunday at least 25 members perform 17 different functions during our Sunday services - from crucifers, to readers and Communion Administrators. Krister Partel is now keeping us on "schedule" with a quarterly roster mailed to all 136 volunteer "Rosterians". We are pleased to now offer the quarterly roster in PDF format that you can consult online here or download to read at your convenience offline. The current roster is linked above.

To read the Sunday Ministries file online, simply click on the highlighted name. To download and save the file to your computer, right click on the file name and then click on "Save Target as ...". If you do not already have the PDF Reader you can download it free from the Adobe website:

Affordable Housing Committee
Loblaws Gift Card Program

Ever wondered what is happening at that table in the Corner of the Hall? Well, it is the Affordable Housing Committee of St. Johns selling Loblaws Gift Cards. This program, run by Peggy Lister, raises between $150 and $400 per month which the Affordable Housing Committee uses to carry on their work of making housing affordable in the city of Ottawa.

Loblaws provides a discount to non-profit organizations who purchase gift cards in bulk. When we order more the $5,000 we receive a 3% discount. If we can purchase over $10,000 we receive a 4% discount. The cards are available for purchase at face value and can be used at any Loblaws, Superstore, Val-mart, No Frills or Independent grocery store. They work like a debit card and can be used repeatedly until their value is zero.

We would love to talk to you more about the program. Drop by the table or contact Peggy Lister, Kathleen Arsenault or Gloria Fox.

Please, folks, we would like to contribute more earnestly to ending poverty right here. Please bring in different foodstuffs for The Well (soups, pastas, cereals, peanut butter etc - also diapers are needed). We will continue to bring up a basket of food at the time of the offertory, but there will be more baskets provided at the Elgin Street entrance.

Circles of Support and Accountability [CoSA] is a community-based reintegration program designed to support people newly released from prison who have been convicted of sex offenses, admit to committing these offences, and request CoSA's help to prevent further offending. See our CoSA page for more details of this interesting program hosted by St John's.

Those interested in registering for the Basic Training Program, or would like more information, contact
Susan Love, program coordinator,
at love@magma.ca or (613) 232-4500 (leave a message).

Compline is a beautiful, peaceful, prayerful evening liturgy sung by members of St. John's choir. It happens twice a month at 9 PM in the Chapel of Remembrance. Would you be interested in being a keeper of the incense for the duration of the service? Please contact Gordon if you are interested.

Intinction is the practice of dipping the communion bread into the chalice instead of drinking from the common cup, and it's something we discourage. If you do not wish to drink from the chalice, rest assured that in the Anglican tradition, communion in one kind (receiving the bread only) is considered a complete communion.

Please do NOT dip communion bread into the wine.

Would you like to join with other parishioners to study the weekly Bible readings before the Sunday morning service? Each Sunday at 9:00 a.m. a group meets to discuss the day's readings and to share their thoughts and reflections on the readings. This Bible study takes place in Classroom #2 (across from Wanda's office) and all are welcome.

Frequently people come by the church to speak with the rector about their needs for financial assistance. In cases of genuine need, she is able to help people by using money from the Rector's Discretionary Fund. This is a fund which receives donations from parishioners who wish to help the poor and support the rector in extending help to individuals in need. Presently the fund has very little money in it.

If you would like to make a donation, please place it in the offertory, clearly marked "Rector's Discretionary Fund", or bring your donation to the church office during the week.

We offer a variety of programmes at St John's that can help you to develop a contemplative practice.

Please contact Caitlin if you would like more information about any of these programmes.

Our nursery is available for use during the service on Sunday mornings. It is located up the stairs beside the ramp entrance, next to the women's restroom. Sometimes the door is locked by mistake; if you find the door locked, please ask the duty warden to open the nursery for you.

"This Week at St John's" is the title of an informal weekly e-mail message sent by the rector to everyone on the parish list with an e-mail address. Print copies of "This Week" are posted on the bulletin board near the parish office.

If you wish to have your e-mail address added to the parish list, please send it to office@stjohnsottawa.ca.

For those not on parish e-mail list we will be posting a [delayed] copy of Garth's "This Week at St Johns" on our website

At St John's we recognize the power of prayer and have countless examples of healing and wholeness that have resulted from prayer. Some of these examples are miraculous. In times of crisis, when praying is difficult, it is comforting to know that others are praying.

For many years, a group of 15 to 20 people have supported prayer requests. The group is organized so that the prayer requests can be passed quickly from one person to the next until an entire chain of people is praying. The members of the Prayer Chain have a special community. Their prayers join strongly, even though they all pray separately. It is a special connection to light and love.

At this time we want to remind everyone that the Prayer Chain is there. If you have a request, simply call the church at 613-232-4500 and ask for the Prayer Chain line. Then leave a message for the prayer leader who will contact you. Also, please consider joining in this special ministry. Please contact Kathryn Otley if you would like to participate.

Sermons at St John's

[As of 15 August 2005 we had 102 sermons on this website!]

We are fortunate to have many of the sermons preached at St Johns over the years on our website. Because of the rapidly growing number of sermons we have moved the list of online sermon to its own page called "Sermons at St Johns"

We are pleased to offer the following recently added sermons as "food for thought" to enrich your life:

It would be nice to think that we could be totally without a care in church and not have to worry about security, but that may have to wait until the fullness of the Kingdom arrives. Until that perfect day, please keep an eye on your purse and other belongings during the service. Do not leave belongings unattended; bring your purse with you as you come forward to receive communion.
