We invite you to join us for a candlelit walk of peace before the Homeless Persons’ Interfaith Memorial Service 6:30 PM on Thursday, December 18th at St. John the Evangelist, 413 St. John St, Green Bay. 

Each step is a moment of peace, a chance to be fully present with each other and with the Earth. We hold those who have died, their hand in our hand, and their steps in our steps.

“There is no way to peace, peace is the way.” -Thich Nhat Hanh

I am so sorry, I heard from The Mauthe Center just a short while ago and they had a water main break that affected some dorms and the Mauthe Center. The Mauthe Center is closed as they do not have any water. 

Hopefully no issues arise for our next gathering on October 15th. In the meantime, please enjoy this Calm-Ease guided meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh. 

Wishing you all much happiness and ease on this beautiful 1st day of October. 

Bowing,

Jody

The Mauthe Center is unable to host us tonight as they are preparing for a large event at the center tomorrow. Please check out our calendar for our next meeting date.

The roads are icy and we are projected to get more snow, so we are cancelling practice tonight. Stay safe!

St. John’s Ministries and St. John the Evangelist Church will host the 15th Annual Greater Green Bay Homeless Persons’ Interfaith Memorial Service on Thursday, December 19.  This service is meant to honor the dignity and commemorate Greater Green Bay community members who have died while unstably housed in 2024. We hope you’ll consider joining your neighbors in honoring the lives of those often forgotten. For many of the individuals honored, this will be the only commemoration they receive. For all involved it is a solemn event, and a call to action.
