Saint John's is
Handicap
accessible.
You’ll know when you
visit you’ve found something unusual. When you sit in a pew
here you're not just a passive receiver; you're a full
participant in the liturgy. Worship is the work of the people,
and at Saint John, we understand that our worship is a holy
work we create with God and with each other. Our services are
carefully planned, and, we hope, engage you in an experience
that stays with you all week.
But it's more than worship. It is our unique community that
makes us worth the visit and for many, what calls them to
stay. We've been here on State Street since our founding in
1882. We've stayed with our neighborhood--and with our
neighbors--through many changes over the years. We hear our
call to remain in this place and serve God's people here.
Please accept our invitation to worship with us each Sunday at
8:00 and 9:30 AM . Stay for Breakfast or just a coffee after
the service, and join us for education hour at 10:30AM;
there's Sunday Church School for the young and Adult
Conversation for everyone else. Get to know us. We want
to get to know you!
*Our Mission*
Rooted in word and sacrament and Growing In Faith Together, we as the body of
Christ seek to immerse ourselves in relationships and
practices that develop disciples who will reach out to all
people, care for creation and grow in the knowledge that God
is always at work in each life.
*Our Worship*
The worship of God is at the very heart of our life
together at Saint John's Church. By definition, worship is the
act of offering adoration, praise, and thanksgiving in
recognition of God's holiness and in response to what God has
done, continues to do, and promises to do for his people and
for all creation. Worship is an expression of all we believe
in and do, reflects God's love for us, and glorifies God's
holy name. In worship we encounter God as we join to celebrate
the sacraments through water, bread and wine.
No matter what other activities the Church may engage in,
public worship is essential to its life and mission. At Saint
John's our liturgical worship follows the traditional and
ancient Christian order. However, our worship is
modern in style. First time worshipers find our worship
booklets easy to follow and our people welcoming and helpful. When you visit us at Saint John's you will
often find many candles, artwork, various assistants in our celebration of the
liturgy, and children participating in worship -- for
"liturgy" is the work of the people. But, no matter what the
form of our worship, it is always Gospel centered, focusing on
the redeeming life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Come and see!
