Worship Services for Sunday, April 7, 2024

On this second Sunday in the Easter season, we will be celebrating Easter as we had to cancel last Sunday’s service due to weather and illness. Service at the church is at 10:30 a.m. This Sunday we will have the choir singing, and special music throughout to celebrate Christ’s resurrection.  We will not have a recorded video service on our Facebook page this week.  However, the bulletin for the video service is below.  It contains the full liturgy for the day, prayers and complete scripture readings.

All are welcome and invited to join us at St. John’s.  We are an affirming church located in the heart of historic Williams, and just one block south of Historic Route 66. Please explore our website to learn more about us!
