Many churches find that, in the summer, congregations tend to be quite a bit smaller than during the rest of the year. Of course, holidays, heat, and a dearth of special church occasions occasions contribute to these temporary temporary declines. St. John's, Blackstock has, in past years, seen quite a drop in attendance during the summer. However, 1996 seems to be different! This summer's congregations arc only slightly smaller than those of the period September '95 to June '96. A definite upward upward trend in the size of congregation congregation has emerged over the last 12 months. Now, St. John's is, by no means, packed every Sunday but it is wonderful wonderful to sec this trend during a time when the media assure us, frequently, that church attendance attendance is anachronistic. As fall approaches, St. John's is getting ready for a series series of special events. On September September 14th., St. John's will hold their Annual Bird Night and Auction (It's not a silent auction this time, but a good noisy one with a real auctioneer auctioneer and a hammer!)
