Parish Wide Meeting This Sunday

Dear Friends in Christ,

This Sunday, July 2^nd at 9am, please join me in the parish hall between services for a parish wide gathering to learn more about this time of transition, within our church and leadership, as we journey forward together. I will provide information that I hope will offer insight, knowledge and guidance, and will do my best to answer your questions and respond to your concerns – all with kind hearts.

I wish to express my gratitude to Bishop John Taylor and the Diocesan Staff. While they have expressed no agenda for the Cathedral, I give thanks for their constant support and leadership as we are invited to discern how God is calling St. John’s now. I hope you will join us. 

Blessings,

Anne Sawyer

Interim Dean & Priest-in-Charge

Beauty Elevates Our Common Worship



The church is assisted by artists who transform the sanctuary with beautiful seasonal decorations. Individuals who wish to donate flowers on Sunday should email the Parish Office (churchoffice@stjohnsla.org) or call 213.747.6285 to get on the Flower Calendar and reserve the desired date at least two weeks in advance.

Let the office know if they are given as a specific memorial or thanksgiving so names can be included in our announcements. The cost is $75 and should be paid at the time of ordering (Joint sponsorships welcomed.)The contribution is tax-deductible and will be included in the annual giving statement for pledgers.
