| |  | | St. John's Schedule | | A Message from Fr. Bryan | I have some wonderful news today! Bishop Grant LeMarquand will be in Northeast Ohio from Saturday, August 15th through Sunday, August 22nd. He has offered to preside over confirmations for us during that week, and I have proposed Sunday, August 16th. As soon as I hear back from him, I will announce the finalized date to the church. Because of delays related to the pandemic, this has been a long process, so I am very glad to know that we are moving forward now. We have quite a few people ready to be confirmed, so I will be reaching out to everyone soon in order to finalize a list. In the meantime, if you are interested in confirmation and have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call or send a text to 330-685-5510.

In other news The Rev. Canon Lawrence McElrath will be with us on Sunday, July 11th to preach and preside. He and his wife Megan met during their undergraduate studies at Malone University, so they are well known among our members, and it will be wonderful to have them with us. I've included a Bio below, so please have a look and welcome The Rev. Canon Lawrence when he joins us in a few weeks.

I look forward to seeing you all soon.
