by the Reverend Nancy Emmel Gunn Our Gospel today is a story of deep friendship and imminent loss. I love the Mary, Martha and Lazarus stories. It is clear from these passages that Jesus shared an intimate bond with this family. And in this one, Mary, the sister with her head in the clouds, offers Jesus a physical sign of her affection and a warning of things to come.

by the Reverend Nancy Emmel Gunn Editor's note: Nope, you're not seeing things! We thought the text for Pastor Nancy's sermon had gotten lost in the transfer to a new computer, but she found it. How appropriate: it was lost, and then found... We find ourselves this Fourth Sunday of Lent in another parable, the story of the prodigal son. This is the longest and the most well-known of Jesus’ parables. We know this story. But how we interpret it, depends on which side of the fence you are on: the side of the goody two-shoes son, or the bad boy. Some of us are a little of both.
Members of St. John's rolled up their sleeves this weekend to get the buildings and ground ready for Easter. Couldn't make it? We've got pictures... Thanks to everyone that took some time out of their Saturday!
