St. John’s Episcopal Church
St. John’s doors will continue to be open for all Sunday Services. Masks, social distancing, use of the hand sanitizer and temperature checks are mandatory as long as CIVID-19 and OMICRON case numbers are up. Thank you everyone for your help in trying to prevent these numbers to continue to rise. Our prayers continue to be for more people to participate in this cause.
Video will be available for those unable to attend in person.
There will be no in-person annual meeting in January for St. John’s this year due to the recent spike in COVID & Omicron cases. More information on this will follow next week.
