Take and look at the new photos! 

Tag Sale St. John's will be holding its annual back-to-school tag sale on Saturday, August 30th from 9-2. St. John's is located at the intersection of Orange and Humphrey streets, just a short walk from the Yale campus.

Progress on the undercroft Over the last few months, the undercroft area has been dramatically improved into an impressive open area. Tons of dirt and debris have been excavated and carted away. A smooth concrete floor now covers the area. Windows and the exterior entrance have been enlarged. Inside, spaces have been created for an elevator and a set of stairs from the Parish Room.

For those of you who haven't had a chance to take a tour, here's a picture (click for a larger image):
