Good Friday Service for April 2, 2021

We will begin our Good Friday service at noon, April 2, 2021.  We will have services both in-person at St. John’s in our sanctuary, and online with a recorded video of the same service on our Facebook page.

In-person services at St. John’s do require the wearing of a mask and physical distancing as we continue to protect and show our love and respect for one another.

Both services will be led by our vicar, the Rev. Cheryl Fox.  Below you will find the service bulletin, which can be used for home study and also for use while watching the video.

All are invited and are most welcome to worship with us.  We extend a special welcome to visitors to the Grand Canyon who might be staying here in Williams during Holy Week.
