CHURCH DIRECTORY with PICTURES!
As our community grows, we would love to offer our community a PDF directory of names, emails, phone numbers and addresses of current parishioners with pictures as well, so that we may get to know one another better. Please see Realm for the link to upload your individual photo or email it directly to frandre@stjohnaz.org. In addition to uploading a photo of you as an individual, family photos can be uploaded and will be added to our Family Tree wall in our fellowship hall (unless you don't want to be, let Father know). :-) Please upload a high resolution image that is printable.
“Sanctify those that love the beauty of Thy house. Glorify them in return by Thy divine power.” - from the prayer behind ambo at the end of liturgy
Big Thank You to everyone already signed up to help!!!
Many hands make light work:-) I would like every one in the parish to sign up, individually or as a family, to help clean the temple for 15 mins after liturgy on a rotational basis every Sunday throughout the year. Please sign up today at link below!

11-28-19 St. John's First Thanksgiving Day Potluck Fellowship Meal Brunch after 9am Thanksgiving Liturgy Thursday, November 28, 2019!
One of my favorite Thanksgiving traditions while I lived in San Francisco CA, was starting the day with Divine Liturgy and then partaking in a glorious Festal Thanksgiving feast after service with my Holy Trinity Cathedral parish family.
I will supply a succulent Organic Turkey. For those who would like to join my family and I in the fellowship hall after Thanksgiving Liturgy please bring your favorite Thanksgiving dish to share.
Please click the following sign up sheet to let me know what you will be bringing and how many people in your party.
