Give Us Wings has just updated their website to include a page about St. John's Kayoro Clinic in Uganda. Click here to view photos and updates from the clinic. Betsy Davies, a Give Us Wings volunteer who traveled to Uganda with St. John's parishioners, put the page together.

Recently, we were also blessed to received a…

We're commissioning two small windows.  But we don't have an artist.  Anyone have experience?  Or is there an Angie's List for church furnishings?

Artaria (St. John’s artists in residence) were featured in an episode of MN Original on TPT earlier this month. Some of the filming was done at St. John.

Now celebrating their twenty fifth season, Artaria is known for refined and thoughtful playing that has brought them critical acclaim in celebrated venues…

What a great way to spend a Friday night—with faith and fellowship. St. George's Episcopal Church invites you to Holy Eucharist and fellowship at 7 p.m. Friday, November 1, for the Feast of All Saints. The Feast of All Saints is a major festival of the Christian year. It is on par with Christmas and Easter. We will remember all the heroes of our faith who have gone onto their glory and our loved ones who have done the same. We will then feast on dessert after the service. St. George's is…

Saint Paul’s letters (Epistles) make up large portion of the New Testament. We read from his letters often at the Holy Eucharist. Who was Saint Paul? Who was he writing these letters to? How have his writings influenced Christian theology?

It is with tremendous pride that I can now say, after celebrating this afternoon, that I was the Senior Warden when St. James Episcopal Church on the Parkway in Minneapolis, and that I was there, when St. James recorded the first same-sex marriage in its 80 year history. Its true, as a Senior Warden, my offcial role in such an event is non-existent. The formal approval of the Vestry isn't needed, there is no mechanism in place that I am aware of for the Wardens and/or Vestry to somehow weigh…

So, our buildings on the St. James Episcopal Church on the Parkway have been vexing us for nearly a decade now, in small and big ways, while simultaneously endearing us as the home base of our faith and sprititual work. This hardly makes St. James unique of course, but I thought it still a worthy blog topic,even if I am ultimately only talking to myself (see previous post from June). There have been a wide range of conversations at St. James, from simple musings of humble parishioners to…

21st century version of an old question: If someone writes a blog and no one (other than the writer) reads it, is it a blog?

When a child enters the world with Down syndrome, the parents face challenging questions. Will my baby have medical issues? Will people accept my child? What is possible for my son or daughter as they grow?
