If you are new to St. John's, welcome! We are glad you are here.
On Sunday mornings, please make yourself known to the usher/greeter, and sign our guest book. We gather for coffee in the parish hall after both services on Sunday morning - do join us! If you would like to read about the Episcopal Church and what we believe, click here. If you'd like to know more about this parish, click here. If you would like to know more about the nature of our worship services, please click here. Do remember - there is no right or wrong way to worship - the important thing is that we gather to worship as Christians have done for over 2000 years. So, welcome!
Do not hesitate to contact our Rector, Father Al Aiton, or one of our church personnel if you need to speak with someone outside of Sunday morning worship/fellowship time. Business hours for our main office are 9-noon and 1-5 Monday through Friday.
Our main (north) entrance is the red door on Lincoln Way. Our parking lot is on the south side of the building. This is the entrance through which most folks come and go - this entrance also provides access to the sanctuary by an automated lift. You will need help opening the south entrance door, that's all. There are bathroom facilities at this south door (to the left coming in), and at the parish hall level near the door to the altar.
On Sunday mornings, you can park anywhere in the parking lot. Click here for additional parking information.
If you would like a name tag, please speak with the greeter/usher Sunday morning. You will soon find your name tag filed alphabetically by last name on the shelf leading into the sanctuary from the parish hall.
Children are always more than welcome during our worship services. Should you choose, we do have a Nursery available from 7:45 through 11:45 on Sunday mornings.
And now, a word of welcome from our Rector.....
We extend to you a warm welcome and appreciate the time you have taken to visit our website. We are always excited to have visitors in our midst and that includes visiting us on the web. If you are in the area we hope that you will come and join us for worship.
We are a diverse people with varieties of gifts seeking to live up to our Baptismal Covenant through ministry. What we gain from our worship experience helps to sustain us in our lives of faith. We think of ourselves as a ministering congregation: ministering to the needs of our members and to the community at large. We believe that ministry is carrying out Christ's work in the world, and that Jesus is both the model for ministry and the source of energizing power which calls our ministries into being. We find this an exciting and challenging place in which to minister, sharing power as partners in identifying and holding-up the ministry of all persons.
May God bless you!
Faithfully,
Father Al Aiton
