Veteran/Military Friendly Congregation

St. John's is designated by the
Military Chaplains Association
as a Veteran/Military Friendly Congregation.
Ministry to active military members, veterans, and their
families allows us the opportunity to support them in their spiritual needs. This outreach ministry offers us a way to tell the Good News to our many neighbors in the military and to give the opportunities for us to use their spiritual gifts while they are with us.

We Are Here For You!

As the pandemic restrictions loosen and we carefully gather in person at St. John's,
we are here for you!

At St. John's, no matter who you are
or where you are on your spiritual journey -

Health Guidelines

Because of the increasing COVID cases, the bishop is modifying one COVID guideline.

All people (vaccinated or not) are required to wear a mask during our worship services; except when reading or preaching.
Vaccinated people do not need to social distance and may now join in congregational singing.
Participants in the following church ministries should be vaccinated:
- Anyone celebrating or distributing communion.
- Anyone singing in a choir or leading sung music in worship.
- Anyone leading children/youth ministries for those under age 12.
- Anyone visiting a home, hospital, or group care setting as part of a pastoral care ministry or serving as a Eucharistic visitor.

Communion wine may distributed in individual containers, or by having the priest intinct all wafers and drop them in worshipers' hands. Sipping from the common cup, or having individual worshipers intinct, is still not allowed.
Since children under age 12 have not had the opportunity to be vaccinated, all children's ministries should be conducted with masks, following 3-foot distancing between children (the same requirements schools follow).
Refreshments may be served at coffee hour, indoors or outdoors, but they should not be served buffet-style with shared implements. Refreshments should be individually wrapped, or served by a server who is the only one to touch the serving implements.

If you have not been vaccinated, you are encouraged to become vaccinated, to help prevent the further spread of the coronavirus, including the more dangerous Delta variant.
Our staff is fully vaccinated and the church office is open Monday - Thursday from 9am-3pm. Please call the parish office if you have any questions or concerns. (619-422-4141)
