Cleaning Supplies for St. Luke's LifeWorks

During the month of October, we’ll be collecting cleaning supplies for St. Luke's LifeWorks. They need cleaning supplies in volume to maintain their facilities and services including: unscented liquid laundry soap, dish soap and hand soap, antibacterial all-purpose cleaner, bleach, sponges, floor mops, trash bags, personal hygiene items, towels and single bed sheets. St. Luke’s LifeWorks is a Stamford-based non-profit that provides education, housing, child care and support services to more than 1,000 families and individuals annually. Donations may be left in the Narthex or Chapel or Gray Farms Nursery School Basket. Thanks in advance for your support.

The Courtyard - A Memorial Garden at St. John’s

Stemming from the strong interest of some of our member families, a memorial garden became reality at St. John’s. Located between the education building and Ina Ellen Chapel, St. John’s Courtyard is a haven for quiet repose and meditation.

The Courtyard comprises a flagstone terrace with adjacent plantings and the Chapel’s exterior north wall. The design of the terrace is simple and straight forward with provision for memorial ground plaques. The adjunct, in-scale plantings have been selected to mature with grace and beauty, enhancing the Courtyard’s feeling of quiet intimacy for future generations.

St. John’s Courtyard affords an ideal site for personal or intimate family memorial services. The garden areas are appropriate venues for the dispersion of the post-cremation remains (ashes) of a loved one who was a member of St. John’s.

St. John’s families have the opportunity to memorialize former members of the Congregation by the installation of bronze memorial plaques, either incorporated into the surface of the terrace, or affixed to the exterior Chapel wall.
