The COVID pandemic has given the Church the opportunity to rethink the “usual” schedule of our community. Lord willing, the following schedule will bring a good balance of opportunities for prayer, fellowship and learning for all ages of our Church. We will test out the schedule for the fall and continue to rethink and attempt to meet the needs of every member of the Church. We are still working on our Sunday School program and schedule, but the events outlined below will be a good way for you to mark your calendars for events that are happening at St. John!

Read MoreLord willing, over the next few weeks, we will be announcing our fall schedule of activities. The schedule will include opportunities for worship, learning, and fellowship, with ample opportunities to serve one another along the way. Get ready to mark your calendars!
Read MoreCOFFEE HOUR!
At long last, coffee hour has returned! We will begin by only serving coffee and serving it in disposable cups (we have Styrofoam cups that need to be used up and then we will switch to paper ones). Since we are still using St. Raphael Hall for the live-stream of the services, coffee will be set-up at the back of the hall. All are encouraged to be outside to fellowship together following the Liturgy. Thank you for continuing to be mindful of others!
MEN’S LUNCH!
This week (6/22) our men’s lunch will return. All men are invited to meet at Dino’s on Tuesdays at 12 pm for food and fellowship.
