Tallahassee Bach Parley Concert
2026-06-07 15:00 - 16:30 | Church
Join the Tallahassee Bach Parley for We Hold These Tunes: Music from Thomas Jefferson’s Library, a fascinating journey into the personal music collection of one of America’s most passionate musical amateurs, Thomas Jefferson.

A dedicated violinist who practiced daily and filled Monticello with instruments and chamber music, Jefferson believed the arts were central to a life well lived. As our nation marks its 250th anniversary, Bach Parley’s season finale brings his musical world to life through the very music he played and cherished.

🎻 Featuring music by Thomas Arne, Arcangelo Corelli, Francesco Geminiani, and Johann Christian Bach, composers spanning the Baroque and early Classical eras and reflecting the musical influences that shaped Jefferson’s world.

✨ Performed on period instruments by:
– Valerie Prebys & Martie Perry, baroque violin
– Wayne Pearcy, natural trumpet
– Kim Jones, baroque cello
– Alexandra Dunbar, harpsichord

Walking the Mourner's Path - Spring 2026
2026-06-07 15:00 - 16:00 | Killeen Hall
When someone in our life dies, it affects our entire being. St. John’s offers “Walking the Mourner’s Path,” a six- to eight-week grief support program that is grounded in prayer and reminds us that we are not alone in our grief. If you have lost a loved one and have walked the path of grief over the past year or years, “Walking the Mourner’s Path” may be what you need. Open to St. John’s members and the community alike, the program gathers participants for a series of small-group workshops. It’s different than a Sunday morning faith formation program, but the format allows time for being still together, sharing stories, and seeing where God is in our grief and in our hope. The spring 2026 series of workshops will be held on Sunday afternoons from 3:00-4:30 PM in Killeen Hall at St. John’s Episcopal Church. Gatherings begin on Sunday, April 26, 2026 and will be held weekly through Sunday, June 28. (We will not meet on 5/10 or 5/24.) There is a $65 fee* to cover the cost of the workbook. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER You will receive more information after you register, but please feel free to contact Melanie Salsgiver with additional questions or for more details.

*Please note that this cost should not prohibit you from attending. Scholarships are available as needed.

Vital Signs of Faith: Finding Health in Your Spiritual Life with Dean Kate Moorehead Carroll
2026-06-06 10:00 - 13:00 | Killeen Hall
Join Vital Signs of Faith: Finding Health in Your Spiritual Life author, The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead Carroll, for an engaging multi-media presentation.
As the world changes rapidly, Christianity too is changing. Amid this transition, questions arise: How do we know if we are being faithful? How do we know if we are practicing our faith adequately? Just as doctors measure vital signs when determining the health of the body, so we must learn to recognize the vital signs of the life of the spirit as we move into a post-Christian age. We can learn how to cultivate and nourish our faith by paying attention to the four vital signs: God, Give, Grow, and Group.
Small, incremental changes in behavior can improve our physical health, lowering our blood pressure for instance. Author Kate Moorehead Carroll contends the same is true for our spiritual health and offers thoughtful and challenging ways to measure the vital signs of faith so we might improve our spiritual health and find again the essence of our life together, the breath of God in each of us.
Appropriate for all ages.
