St. John’s Episcopal Church
Masks are mandatory in church due to the case numbers in Phillip County. St. John’s doors can continue to be open for all Sunday Services with everyone participating. We are having the church professionally sanitized each week to help also. Thank you all for your help in trying to prevent these numbers to continue to rise and hopefully fall quickly. Our prayers continue to be for more people to participate in this cause so we can keep our church open.
Video will be available for those unable to attend in person.
Special Music will be included in the Sunday services for February 20 and February 27.

A note about Communion in church:
At the time to receive, please proceed to the altar in single file with social distancing, stand one person at a time at the center altar gates and receive your wafer and return to your pew. In other words, we are not spreading out along the altar rail to receive the wafer and we are not kneeling. As soon as it is safely possible, we will return to our regular format. Thanks everyone for your understanding and cooperation.
