What's NEW at St. John's: we prepare for Confirmation, Reception, Reaffirmation, Baptism, and First Communion, at 2:00 PM Sundays in the Chapel. 

Though we are one church, we are four worshipping communities.  Do come to one of our services each Sunday: Eucharists at 10 (English), 11:30 (Bilingual Spanish and English), 1:30 (Contemporary in English), and Bilingual Vespers at 2:30, followed by a delicious community luncheon.  Christian Education is at 11:30 and 1:30 (Alpha program--introduction to the Christian faith).

We sponsor the diocesan MDGs (Millennium Development Goals) and will be proposing a specific program to be sponsored next year with a matching grant: our parishioners have been actively involved in building the new primary school and school cafeteria in Ye Sumo village in Liberia, now with 335 children ages 5-12 registered--many are orphans and other children displaced by the three wars which occurred in LIberia from 1995-2003.  The peace is now stable, thanks to the good work of the United Nations and United African peacekeepers.  What is now underway at the new school is a water well, pump, and water storage facility directly at the school site, since now the children and staff have to haul the water for cooking twice a day from a stream over half a mile away for each meal.  The school is a "hit", Dr. Melvin Mason, school founder and Clerk of our Vestry says, with over a hundred more children signed up this fall over last year's 220.  He says part of the popularity is that the school not only teaches the children but also feeds the children!  We are continuing to raise funds for the Ye Sumo School, and donations can be made for this effort to St. John's Church, P.O. Box 278, Elizabeth, NJ 07207-0278, "Attention: Ye Sumo School".  We welcome and urge your participation in this project!  May God richly bless you!

FLASH: Dr. Mason and his wife and 27 others founded the newest Anglican Church, St. Jude's, in Ye Sumo village on Sunday, March 27!
