Welcome to St. John’s! On June 27th we invite you to join us for our in-person worship service with Eucharist at 10:30 a.m. If you are unable to join us in our sanctuary, please visit our Facebook page where you can view and participate at home in a pre-recorded video service with Pastor Cheryl Fox for the same day.

We are singing again and also will celebrate Holy Communion during the service.
