by Trey Overdyke The Tetons are going to be here for a while, but our community is a much more fragile resource. And, it’s the community that creates such a sense of place for me. My story is probably similar to many of the folks here at St. John’s – I jumped at an opportunity to live and work in a spectacular part of the world. However, I never expected to find St. John’s. We Read more…
by Cora Ligori I’ve witnessed lives changed throughout our community. I have seen our youth experience the gospel and learn how to serve one another, the way Jesus led us to do by example. In the summer of 2007, I married Jim Ligori and he immediately moved me from my generational home in Western North Carolina to his hometown of Jackson. We naturally attended St. John’s on a regular basis. Jim has been a part Read more…
The same weekend that we were enjoying the last few sunny days of summer here in Jackson and gathering our church together on Consecration Sunday, we watched as Houston and other Texas Gulf Coast communities came apart under the devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey. Many of you have asked me about my mom, who lives in Houston. Thank you. She’s fine and was spared from the devastation that fills our social media feeds and television Read more…

by Brad Abrams What does it mean to be an Episcopalian? What does it mean to be a member of the St. John’s community in Jackson? These are questions that struck me this past weekend as we attended the Sunday service at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Ouray, Colorado. This St. John’s is a beautiful little stone church in the heart of the San Juan Mountains. Ouray is a quaint old mining town that has Read more…
By Nancy Porthan In thinking about how I want and ought to give of my resources, my heart, soul and mind first encourages inner clarification of what I get. I think it is human nature to do so. CONNECTION: “a relationship in which a person or idea is linked or associated with something else. Interconnection, interdependence.” Call it family. Call it friends. Call it community. Know it as understanding and non-judgmental acceptance. Experience it as Read more…
By: The Rev. Suzanne Harris My granddaughters recently asked their mother why they had to go to church. They pointed out that their cousins (our other grandchildren) do not go to church, and they are still good people. We have three families of grandchildren: only our daughter Amy’s family, goes to church and Sunday school at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Davidson, North Carolina. The other two, our sons’ families, live in the San Francisco Read more…
