The new cross - Rector's Rambling for April 28, 2019

What a wonderful day Easter Day was last Sunday at St. John’s!  The worship, music, congregation, and fellowship was fantastic, and the weather cooperated for a fun egg hunt after the 10:00 AM Service.  And, in fact, all our Holy Week Services were better-attended than last year, for which I am grateful to God.

One highlight last Sunday was the unveiling of our commissioned art piece in the new Ministry Center.  Erik and Israel Nordin of the Detroit Design Center, with the input of the St. John’s Art Committee, designed this stunning, one-of-a-kind, Celtic-style cross in steel and glass.

As you can see from the photos on this page, lots of folks joined us for the Liturgy, and then crammed into the Ministry Center to watch the unveiling.  Not only did we have parishioners with us, but also many friends from far and near.  Some were experiencing St. John’s for the first time, and others had returned after having been on hiatus for one reason or another.  Still yet, we had former parishioners who live as far away as Connecticut join us for the festivities surrounding our Lord’s Resurrection.

The Cross was given in memory of Aileen and Phelps Trix, Carolyn and Lloyd Campbell, Mary Bedford, Barbara Frisby, and Mary Agnes Clickner.

Alleluia!  Christ is Risen!  He is Risen Indeed!  Alleluia!
