Connection

People long for connection. We believe the two most transformative connections are discovered in God “in whom we live and move and have our being”(Acts 17:28) and with one another, both in the love of Christ. Enjoying connection with the Divine majesty of nature, the St. John’s Fly Fishers serve Christ and further the Kingdom through a welcoming community of adult women and men (16 years or older) who share a passion for fly fishing. Fly fishing connects us to the beauty and holy mystery of nature, as well as the beauty and holy mystery of each other…the Imago Dei. Ultimately, we encounter the beauty and mystery of Holiness itself as we are taken into God’s heart, where we experience deepest healing, peace, and love.

To foster connection, the St. John’s Fly Fishers:

1. are immersed in prayer & scripture study;

2. organize trips

3. offer classes & clinics

4. service in the community

Prayer & Scripture

Our Prayer:

Almighty God, like the fishermen you chose as disciples, guide us that we are always optimistic and yet willing to accept failure as part of this ministry in your world, knowing tomorrow is a new day, abundant with new opportunities to be fishers of people by following you; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Scripture: 1&3 Outdoor Bible Study

Every 1st & 3rd Thursday evenings, we gather at the firepit for time outdoors with scripture under the stars as an extension of our love for God and God's creation.

5:30-6:00, bring your sandwich/drink

and we'll get the fire started.

6:00-7:00 we'll explore scripture.

Don't forget your chair, a headlamp, your Bible (any translation), and an openness to the Holy Spirit.
