Pastoral Care @ St. John's
Win Fernald, Senior Warden
For the next few months, we are watching out for each other and wish to hear from you if you need help or support. We will do our best to respond on a timely basis.
Always call 911 in an emergency situation that requires immediate assistance from police, fire department or ambulance!
But if you need help or are in the hospital or if you know a St. John’s person who needs assistance or is in the hospital, please call one of the wardens, call one of the Assisting Clergy or leave a message at the Church Office. The people who may be contacted are listed below:
- Win Fernald, Warden: (831) 251-6820
- Anne Baker, Warden: (831) 334-0362
- Church Office: (831) 708-2278
- Fr. John Duncan: (831) 763-7428
- The Rev. Mary Craig Caruthers (229) 672-3300
- Amma Eliza Linley: (510) 847-3642
- The Rev. Mary Lou McKenney: (831) 763-2692.
During this time without an Interim Pastor we are watching out for each other. St. John’s has always been good at that.

Sundays at 9:00 - Adult Formation (Bible Study)
During the 9:00-10:15 formation hour, we’ll offer an opportunity for those who are interested in going deeper to attend sessions on a variety of aspects of the passages being read each Sunday.
The 9 a.m. Bible Study folks have finished reading Matthew. Some of us are taking a break until after Easter, but the rest of us plan to read and discuss the Book of Esther, which has dragons in it. We plan to read the translation of the complete Greek text, starting on page 32 of the Apocrypha in the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. It's not a long book, so please join us soon. We meet in the Comfortable Seating Room (which used to be the nursery) and also on Zoom. Note: We won't meet next Sunday because of the Annual Meeting, but will begin the Book of Esther on February 18. We'd love to welcome you.

The early part of the team’s work will be drawing from our church family the issues, concerns and priorities that are important to us, and to discern why we are motivated to serve our community. As we take our first steps forward, I thank the committee in advance for their work helping our church seek new leadership.
