Christmas Eve Services

St. John’s will have a Candlelight Christmas Eve Service that will begin with a story for children at 4:45 pm followed by Christmas music, with the service beginning at 5 pm.  The service ends with everyone holding a lighted candle and singing Silent Night.  A special guest soloist from Warrenton, Oregon will be singing O Holy Night during the service.  All are welcome to this beautiful service of Christmas music and candlelight for the whole family.

There will also be a video service on our Facebook page.  The service bulletin for the video service is below.

Masks are required for those attending in-person services at St. John’s.

Christmas Eve Service 2020

We will celebrate Christmas with a service at 7:00 pm on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2020, with pre-service Christmas music beginning at 6:45 pm. Masks are required and we will practice physically distancing to protect each other.

We wish to let you know, also, that our vicar along with the Bishops’ Committee have decided to pause our in-person worship after the Christmas Eve service. Both of our bishops have requested that we not worship in person. The Williams area has at least 268 cases, according to the Coconino County website as of December 23, 2020. Case numbers continue to rise, and will probably not turn around until vaccinations are widespread, which could be months. It seems unadvisable to continue meeting, even with masks and precautions.
With our new Senior Warden, Deb Noel, we are planning to gather once a month outside for service and conversation. The first gathering will be at the end of January, for a service and our annual meeting. Pastor Fox will continue the Thursday morning Bible Study as long as there is interest, as we are able to meet in a large room and distance from each other. We also will try to establish a couple of days/times where folks can walk together outside to connect.
Below is the Bulletin for the Christmas Eve Service, which will also be available as a video recording on our Facebook page.
