John has performed Sermon In Songs at congregations of many denominations around the country. He has always been not only well-received, but invited back whenever he tours the area. John  is a true messenger for social justice, John's basic message is one of inclusiveness, and of drawing together in our commonality while at the same time respecting and embracing our differences. His warmth, humor, and poetic words come from his wide-open heart. He is truly a man of spirit. He recently received Pacem in Terris DE's Peacemaker Among Us Award. He is a 2008 Rotary Club's Paul Harris Fellow and the Dominicans gave him a 2007 Shining Star Award for artistry and service.  Don't miss it!  September 19th Worship Service
