 Mutual Ministry One of the things that makes St. John's so exciting right now, is that we're training people in our church to be lay and ordained ministers of the Church. We've discerned two of our parishioners as being called by God to be priests, one as a deacon, one as a lay preacher, and another as a lay worship coordinator. Instead of sending them off the seminary we're training them right here in our back yard, so to speak - and along with their training they are generating the most incredible energy and ideas for ministry. Below are some links to resources for our Mutual Ministry team: Sacraments, Section Three (written and prepared by Rick Morley) Sacraments, Section One (written and prepared by Rick Morley) Sacraments, Section Two (written and prepared by Rick Morley) Music in Worship (a powerpoint presentation by Br.
