St. John’s Episcopal Church 

 

This Sunday is All Saints’ Day, the time changes, and we are having a baptism. 

We are having Sunday services this week in the church at St. John’s.  St. John’s doors will continue to be open for all Sunday Services depending on the weekly number of COVID19. Masks, social distancing, use of the hand sanitizer and temperature checks are mandatory this week and as long as case numbers are up.  In order to follow the social distance of six feet required, certain pews will continue to be roped off.  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 or are not comfortable to attend in person.
