Jesus Thomas

Jesus said to Thomas, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” — John 20

For the second Sunday of Easter, April 11, 2021, we will have an in-person service at St. John’s at 10:30 a.m., and we will also have the same service video recorded and available on our Facebook page by Sunday morning.  The text of the service for our Facebook page is provided below (PDF file) so that you may follow along or use it for personal study and reflection at home.

We follow CDC and local church guidance at St. John’s and continue to wear masks and to physically distance ourselves.  We do this to show our love and concern for each other.  While many of us are now fully vaccinated, others are not, and so we continue to practice safety and common sense.

Please come and join us either at St. John’s this Sunday or you may view our weekly videos on our Facebook page. We are a welcoming church and invite all to worship with us, no matter where you are on your faith journey.
