We are worshiping together, in new ways!
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all St. John’s worship services and activities are taking place online. For everyone’s safety, there are no in-person activities at church at this time. Updates will be posted on this page and emailed to members. To sign up for St. John’s weekly eNewsletter, scroll to the bottom of this page.

Sunday worship is the center of our life. Yet at the center is diversity in spirit and ways we worship God. Between the different services offered and numerous opportunities for both adults and children to participate and grow their faith, we strive for all to not just hear that they’re welcome, but to truly feel it, and to experience the grace of God.

9:00 AM — Interactive “watch together” Facebook gathering

This is a virtual participatory experience. Join via our Facebook community group on Sunday mornings and watch the worship service with others. We will experiment with unmuting ourselves during some prayers, using the chat feature to pass the peace, and more!
