Easter Service, April 4, 2021

Join us in singing Alleluias this coming Sunday, April 4th at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary at St. John’s!  We will celebrate the Risen Christ with joyous hymns, the choir, and live music once again. We do ask that you continue to wear a mask and and keep a distance from others to keep each of us safe as we hope to see the pandemic wind down.

The service will also be recorded and on our Facebook page on Sunday morning. Both services will be led by our vicar, the Rev. Cheryl Fox. Below you will find the text version of the Easter service.  This may be used if you are watching the video service, or for home study.

Happy Easter!
