No matter whether it's been so long
since you've stepped inside a church that you can't remember,
or you've been attending St. John's for decades,
or anywhere in between,
you are warmly invited to join us for as much or as little as you need
during this season of Advent as we prepare for the birth of Jesus.
Click on the date and time for more details about each of these opportunities for worship and reflection.
Please contact the church office to request the link if you don't currently receive the weekly email with the Zoom link for the Sunday service.
