Worship at St. John’s

​

When we gather for worship we are formed by God’s Word, fed at God’s table, and filled with God’s presence.
– Rev. Matt Marino

​

Join us for worship Sunday mornings at 8:00 am & 10:00 am

​

Like all Episcopal churches, our worship is based on the Book of Common Prayer.

​

Our services include scripture readings, prayers, confession, the creed, a sermon and the Eucharist (communion.) 

​

• Bible Readings – We usually listen to 4 readings from the Bible (Old Testament, Psalms, Epistles, and Gospel)

• The Peace – In the middle of service, we greet each other with a handshake the the message of “Peace be with You.” It is a symbol of reconciliation with each other that we have in Jesus Christ.  During COVID we are using a touchless greeting.

• Communion – At St. John’s we invite all who seek a deeper knowledge of God and who are drawn to Jesus Christ to participate in Holy Communion.

• Or a Blessing: If you do not wish to receive communion, you may come forward to receive a blessing from the Priest by crossing your arms over your chest, instead of extending them for communion. The Priest will lay a hand on your head and pray a blessing.

​​

The music can range from traditional hymns to contemporary gospel and praise.  Our style is traditional and inviting.  People dress as they feel comfortable. 

​

Children are always welcome and enjoyed in worship service.

​

• Child care is also provided in our nursery for infants to age 3. 

• We hold Sunday school for children up ages Pre-K to 4th grade. Visitors are welcome to come join in Sunday School. The Class begins right before the 10:00 and the children come join their parents in the sanctuary in time for Communion.

• Middle School and High School Students are invited to grab a cup of Hot Cocoa and meet in the Gathering (front meeting room) for 30 minutes of Bible readings and conversation.
