Each year St. John’s sets aside a weekend in September to come together as a community to invite deeper reflection and connection within our community and get to know friends new and old.

This year’s all-parish retreat will take place Sunday, September 28, 2025, from 9:00am - 5:30pm.

Remember the joy of singing around a campfire, the warmth, the laughter, the sense of belonging? That’s the spirit Music That Makes Community will bring to our parish retreat: a day of Gathering, Singing, Listening, and Playing that opens us to God and to one another. This retreat isn’t just for singers; it’s about building the kind of community where every voice matters, where shared song sparks connection, strengthens courage, and helps us imagine together who we are becoming. 

We’ll begin with all-ages worship and close with a festive dinner and the Big Sing. In between, there will be workshops to choose from.
