Four years ago, we were in the throes of the pandemic, but that didn't stop Saint John's from creating a beautiful Lessons and Carols program for our congregation to watch from the comfort of home. Due to social distancing requirements, we could not gather in person. Also, we could not assemble the choir - so we got creative! Each choir member, and some special guests individually recorded each carol - and through some creative magic we put them all together "Brady Bunch style", even overlapping all audio tracks. The result was a beautiful evening of Nine Lessons and Carols. Take an hour and come enjoy this special evening of magic!

Lenten Outreach
Each day of Lent, you are encouraged to think of someone less fortunate as you look in your closets and drawers. Remove one item from your closet that you no longer wear or need and put it into the appropriate bag. At the end of the forty days, donate these items to St. John’s so that we may share them with clients of ECS Head Start. Please bring your bags of clothing and place them in the narthex at the church.
All bags must be delivered by Palm Sunday, April 2nd

The Season of Lent
On Wednesday, February 22nd, we begin the Season of Lent. The first Christians observed
with great devotion the days of our Lord's passion (Good Friday) and resurrection (Easter),
and it became the custom of the Church to prepare for these holy days
by a season of penitence and fasting.
Lent is traditionally marked by acts of special devotion: prayer, fasting,
self-examination and repentance, spiritual reading, and alms giving.
We are providing optional acts of devotion to help you keep the season holy:
Prayer and Study
- Wednesday Morning Prayer and Bible Study
- Labyrinth Walk
a shedding of worries and concerns; reaching a place of meditation and prayer;
and finding union with God and the healing forces at work in the world.
Come to walk on your own; brochures of guidance will be provided.

A Festival of Nine Lesson and Carols of Christmastide
Last December 2020 we found ourselves in the midst of COVID, and we could not gather in the church. Instead, virtual services were created. Our Christmas Eve service included the singing talents of many in the choir as well as some friends of the church. Due to Covid restrictions, each choir member needed to be recorded separately, and were combined together later to create the effect of an entire choir singing together! It was a novel approach to difficult times, and everyone put forth their best, and had some fun as well! So much work went into creating this service, that we decided to highlight it again this year, on our website!
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).

Holy Week and Easter 2021
The Heart of the Christian Year
Holy Week begins on the Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday, as Jesus enters Jerusalem and is welcomed as king.
The week progresses to the Last Supper when Jesus washes the feet of his disciples and his betrayal and arrest on Thursday evening; his trial and crucifixion on Friday; and his conquering death and resurrection on
Easter Eve/Easter Sunday. These services provide a liturgical experience of the last days of Jesus' earthly life.
Holy Week culminates with the Paschal Triduum (sacred three days): starting the evening of Maundy Thursday, through the evenings of Good Friday and Holy Saturday (with the Great Vigil of Easter,) and ending the evening of Easter;
all celebrating the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. The Paschal Triduum is experienced as one liturgy:
having remembered the institution of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper, we traditionally wait and pray (vigil) at the altar of repose on Maundy Thursday; then we continue with the reading of the Passion along with the veneration and prayer (vigil) at the cross of Christ on Good Friday; leading us to the Easter Vigil where we gather and pray (vigil) around the new fire to hear the stories of salvation after which we celebrate the resurrection of Christ in
the Holy Eucharist; a celebration that continues into Easter day.
"Stay with me, keep watch with me. Watch and pray."

Sept 2, 2020: Update to pandemic response
Based on the Governor's recent update to lift restrictions on in-person worship, Bishop Susan has allowed congregations to once again gather for worship, with restrictions. Therefore, the vestry of St. John's has decided to allow the congregation to regather for outdoor worship following the guidelines of our action plan.
Our gathering must follow the guidelines for in-person worship, including:
- temperature and symptom review
- social distancing of 6 feet
- hand sanitation
- wearing mask protection
- regretfully, no physical touch
- discourage age 65 and over
- if you are sick, you are asked to stay home
For those who cannot attend because of the guidelines or do not feel comfortable, the liturgy will be streamed live on the St. John's website. Click the button below to access our Action Plan, which further defines the guidelines for in-person worship.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Sunday Worship Services are streamed on Facebook 9am Sundays
