New program explores faith’s relevance today- MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J. — How is faith relevant in my life? How do I deepen my faith? Where is God in my life? 

Beginning Sept. 21, an eight-week evening program of faith exploration and discovery will provide an opportunity to explore these questions.
The series will include inspirational talks, discussions and worship experiences, offered through the collaborative ministry of the Episcopal churches of Boonton, Denville & Mountain Lakes. It is open to anyone interested, whether they belong to a faith community, are exploring different faiths or have no faith affiliation.
Participants will gather Wednesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. at St. Peter’s Church, 215 Boulevard, Mountain Lakes. Free childcare will be available.
For more information, contact the Rev. Michael Muller at St. Peter’s at 973-334-4429 or mmuller.stpetersml@gmail.com.

Sunday services continue with Choral Eucharist and Morning Prayer. We are grateful for Rev. Sharon who has gone out into Boonton to meet the local community groups, who is guiding us through transitions and getting us back to activities sidelined by Covid restrictions. Robert, our hardworking choir director and organist will be on vacation all of August. 
The vestry is back in session. We are preparing for the fall. Here are some of the things we have on the agenda:

• Finishing the Wilson House-it looks wonderful
• The Welcome Back Picnic
• St. Francis day and the Blessing of the Animals
• Boonton Day
• Saturday Luncheon Social
• Stewardship
• Planning the Worship season with the Altar Guild and all our new members. 

There is so much more going on with maintenance of the building, cleaning and care of the buildings, preparing and planning. If you don't hear from us, we have our heads down getting ready for a thriving, busy fall season. See you in September.

This June 5th we said goodbye to Rev. Barry and Bruce. We thank them for all they have done for St. John's over the past three plus years, as they have seen us through our period of transition and the added stress of Covid! ​
