On Sunday, October 11, St. John's celebrated Indigenous Peoples Day. The prayers, readings, and music reflected the culture of the Native Americans who were the original inhabitants of the land where we currently live. This special liturgy reflected the stand of the Episcopal Church regarding appreciation of our Native American roots.
At its national convention in 2022, the Episcopal Church passed a resolution in support of the movement to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day on the second Monday in October. In addition to the service, an exhibit was prepared for viewing in the Parish Hall. We give thanks to St. John’s for participation in this meaningful celebration.
