Our Journey Together as Orthodox Christians

In Community is a quarterly newsletter that tells the story of our journey together as Orthodox Christians. Each edition is a small peek into the lives of the Saint John faithful. There are testimonials of how some have come to Orthodoxy and others that answer the simple question - Why Alaska? You'll find recipes which are close to our hearts (and stomach) and thoughts on books we have read. Some articles will make you think, others will make you laugh. Hopefully all of them will be informative and at the very least give you a glimpse In Community.
