St. John’s Episcopal Church
Masks and social distancing 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 in trying to lower these cases. We are having the church professionally sanitized each week to help also. Our prayers continue to be for more people to participate in this cause so we can keep our church open. Thank you for your help.
