We extend the welcome and love of God to all who come to church. Our worship is something we do together. The complete service each Sunday is printed in a program – no book shuffling or seemingly secret ways to get the hang of – and your voice is welcome and necessary. Worship is rooted in Scripture, which we take seriously but not literally, and follows the rhythm of The Book of Common Prayer, although we often use other prayer sources. Most Sundays there is Holy Communion and the table is open to any Baptized person and every seeker of Christ. Following worship, there is coffee, treats and socializing.
​
The front door is accessible from the driveway, and an elevator goes to the basement, where there are restrooms. The sanctuary is air-conditioned in the summer.
Worship on Sundays at 10:00 AM

Christmastide
Today is the First Sunday after Christmas and we continue to worship and sing in the words and spirit of this major feast day.
The season of Christmas begins on December 24 at sunset, the beginning of the day in the Hebrew tradition. This is why churches generally have evening or midnight services for Christmas Eve. Christmas itself lasts twelve days.
Twelve Days of Christmas — yep, that is what the song is about. Amazon.com and other giant retailers have encouraged an erroneous assumption that the Twelve Days end on Christmas Day and must therefore begin on December 14. Not so. The Twelve Days do not come before Christmas day, they begin on Christmas Day, and end on January 5.
Christmastide is twelve days in which to celebrate, perhaps more reflectively than in ages past, the great gift of God that comes to us in the sweet, beguiling form of an infant.

Ceremonies
Weddings
We welcome the weddings of same-sex and opposite-sex couples alike. You may also have a civil union blessed.
Thank you for considering having your wedding at St. John’s. Before scheduling a wedding, we ask all couples to come to a Sunday service. There you can meet our clergy and other leadership and experience a typical liturgy.
​
You do not need to be a member of the Episcopal Church to have a wedding here. We welcome the weddings of same-sex and opposite-sex couples alike. You may also have a civil union blessed in the church.
Baptisms
We welcome people of all ages--babies, children, teens, adults, and elders-- to receive the sacrament of Baptism.
Baptism is full initiation, by water and the Holy Spirit, into Christ's Body, the Church. We welcome people of all ages--babies, children, teens, adults, and elders-- to receive the sacrament of Baptism. The baptismal rite occurs in the middle of the service on Sunday morning, after the sermon and before Communion. Because Baptism is about joining the community, we do not do private services.
Funerals
You do not need to be a member of our church to plan this important aspect of the dying and grieving process.
Burial of the Dead is an act of mercy, and St. John’s is active in the ministry of ritual burial. You do not need be a member of our church, or any church to plan this important aspect of the dying and grieving process at St. John’s.
​
The church seats about 110 people, and we have a full kitchen, tables and chairs in the basement for a reception. Our worship team will also be part of a graveside service or help scatter the ashes of the departed.
