Dear
St. John's Parishioner,
Today we have two updates for your
perusal. The first is information for five "Confronting
Death" sessions to be held at St. John's on Sunday
evenings beginning on May 3. The same experience will
be offered as an Adult Forum on
Sunday mornings on May 10, 17, 31, June 7 and 14. We
also have made some additional updates to our web site.

Web Site
Updates
(Please note you can now click on any link in red to be
taken to that specific page.)
At the request of several people, the Option 4 slide show presentation
has been changed from a PowerPoint file to a .pdf file.
Since most people already have Adobe Acrobat Reader already on
their computers (required to view .pdf files),
this should allow more people to view the presentation.
If you haven't done so already, we strongly encourage
you to view these slide show presentations. Prepared by
Rick Lipka, they offer you great visual aids in
picturing what a new Church as presented in options 3
and 4
MAY look like. They are only examples.
The actual configurations will be determined AFTER the May 17th vote.
