Law Enforcement Recognition Sunday
St. John’s held our annual Law Enforcement Recognition Sunday on Oct. 20, 2019, honoring law enforcement officers and their canine partners as well. Officers were presented with flags with their dog's picture on it, as well as many other gifts. The Rev. Paul Rowles, our interim rector, officiated, with Tim Knowlson singing "Eternal Life" by St. Francis of Assisi.
St. John’s Little Library
St. John's, Halifax, welcomes their neighbors to visit their new Little Free Library and to take a book or leave a book or both. It's free. The Outreach Committee installed the Little Free Library on the sidewalk by the Parish House and visitors can access the books on foot or from their car.
"The committee had fun filling the box with books, and we tried to select ones that would appeal to all ages," said Kathy Parker, chair of St. John's Little Free Library Committee. The group has filled the library with books for children and adults.
"This Little Free Library is for everybody in the community - not just church members," said Parker, "We invite everybody to participate, whether they have a book to leave or not. Our goal is to encourage the love of reading and to put books in the hands of people who would like to have them."

Fall Fun at
St. John’s
St. John’s joined other local organizations in decorating the light poles in downtown Halifax. Honey Davis came up with the creative idea of making a little flower pot lady sitting in a rocking chair surrounded by a fall wreath and flowers. Honey worked with Darnell Abbott to put together our lady and her colorful surroundings. Walter Parker painted our lady’s face, while Lott and Janet Rogers made the sign. Our lady sat on a street corner near The Packhouse to welcome people coming down Main Street in Halifax.
Members of St. John’s also participated in the Town of Halifax trick-or-treat festivities on Halloween night. Many children stopped by our St. John’s table on the sidewalk in front of Triangle Florist.
