ST. JOHN'S GARDEN GUILD
Thank you, Pastor Susan and Fr. Ted for recognizing and blessing the St. John’s Garden Guild at the 9:30 a.m. worship service on April 22, 2018, Earth Day.
St. John’s Garden Guild mission is to restore, develop and preserve our gardens for the enjoyment of both parish and community.
Plant identification is one of our goals. Two trees are now in bloom with rose-purple blossoms. One tree is located in the grassy area near the Columbarium the other on the lawn in front of the parish hall. These landscape ornamental plants (Species-Cercis Canadensis) are familiar to us as Eastern Redbud, Judas tree or Love tree. In the Holy Land the Judas tree, Cercis siliquastrum, has a protected status for according to legend, Judas Iscariot hanged himself from a redbud tree after he betrayed Christ. The legend goes on to say the redbud blooms changed from white to red and the strong limbs became gentle branches to prevent another tragedy. The leaves became heart-shaped thus the Love tree.
St. John’s has many plants which reflect a connection to our faith whether through a legend or names.

Top Ten Reasons to attend St. John’s Saturday 5pm service
1. Bluegrass music
Sing along to bluegrass gospel hymns with a trio of professional musicians from the Boulder Bluegrass Guild. Invite a friend who’s a bluegrass fan.
2. Reflection
Experience some peace and quiet with your brothers and sisters in Christ. In lieu of a sermon, the priest will share a brief reflection followed by several minutes of silent prayer.
3. Exploration
Shake up your routine. Awaken your curiosity. Try it once and see if you like it! There is no one “right way” to worship, but if you check out different styles you will surely find your way.
4. Beauty
Surrounded by stained glass, seated in the round with a modest altar in the center—worship in the chapel is simply beautiful.
5. Variety
The service blends the familiar with the uncommon in liturgy and prayer.
6. Brevity
The service begins at 5:00 pm lasts 45 minutes, tops. It includes Eucharist. Short and sweet, it’s a great option for those with children, a full weekend, or Saturday evening plans.
7. Snacks!
From June –September (or while the weather holds), join us on the patio after worship and enjoy wine, cheese, and other goodies while listening and singing along to more live bluegrass music.
8. Location, Location, Location
After worship, walk to Pearl Street for an early dinner and see a busker juggling torches on a tightrope. Make it a family outing or a date night.
9. Sunday Rest
Enjoy your Sunday morning with some extra shut-eye or a slower pace.
10. Sunday Play
Have all day Sunday to do your thing: ski, run, hike, bike, bake, read, study, attend sporting events, chill…
We hope to welcome you Saturday at 5:00 pm in the Chapel

Thank you!
Paul often affirmed members of the churches he shepherded by telling them he was thanking God for them. In Philippians 1:3-5 Paul writes, "I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now."

Readings
Acts 1:15-17, 21-26
In those days Peter stood up among the believers (together the crowd numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said, "Friends, the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus-- for he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry. So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us-- one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection." So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. Then they prayed and said, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.
Psalm 1
1 Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked, *
nor lingered in the way of sinners,
nor sat in the seats of the scornful!
2 Their delight is in the law of the Lord, *
and they meditate on his law day and night.
3 They are like trees planted by streams of water,
bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; *
everything they do shall prosper.
4 It is not so with the wicked; *
they are like chaff which the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when judgment comes, *
nor the sinner in the council of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, *
but the way of the wicked is doomed.
.
1 John 5:9-13
If we receive human testimony, the testimony of God is greater; for this is the testimony of God that he has testified to his Son. Those who believe in the Son of God have the testimony in their hearts. Those who do not believe in God have made him a liar by not believing in the testimony that God has given concerning his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.
John 17:6-19
Jesus prayed for his disciples, “I have made your name known to those whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything you have given me is from you; for the words that you gave to me I have given to them, and they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine; and I have been glorified in them. And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.” |
