First Friday Taizé - Taizé for Springtime

As we are entering into Eastertide, with winter receding, things are warming up and nature is becoming resplendent in its full Springtime bloom.

Accordingly, our First Friday Taizé service on April 5th at 7:00 pm is being dedicated to the spirit of hope and rejuvenation.

Please join us in St. John’s candlelit sanctuary at 5th and C in Petaluma, where the melodic Taizé chants in English and Latin will be led by three cantors, accompanied by piano and cello.

There is no charge for this service, though donations are greatly appreciated.

Spiritual Paths Group

Our next Spiritual Paths Group will be held Saturday, April 13, from 8:00 – 10:30 am, in the Sanctuary. All are welcome to participate in this rich offering, which combines Centering Prayer, Daily Office prayers, and discussion. The group is in-person only. For more information, contact Paul Mascovich at pmascovich@gmail.com.

Community Labyrinth Walk

St. John’s is home to a beautiful, painted labyrinth in Cram Hall. Walking the labyrinth is an ancient spiritual practice that provides a container for contemplation and growth. Join us on the third Friday evening of each month for a walking meditation that quiets the mind, opens the heart, and reduces stress.

The last Community Labyrinth of the spring will be on Friday, April 19, 7:00 p.m. Karla Bravo will be leading, with Emma Rue providing music.

The labyrinth walk will be held in Cram Hall behind St. John's Episcopal Church in downtown Petaluma. Note that the door to the Hall faces C Street. All are welcome. Masks are optional for vaccinated individuals. The walk will begin promptly at 7 PM.

Registration is requested. Click here to register. Cost is $10.
