​Sunday Morning 
We gather on Sunday to celebrate Holy Eucharist. Eucharist is an ancient word that means "thanksgiving." It is the sacrament commanded by Christ for the continual remembrance of his life, death, and resurrection, until his coming again. We believe that the bread and wine in Eucharist are the outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace given to Christ's people and received by faith. All who need Jesus Christ and seek an encounter with our Risen Lord are welcome to receive Holy Communion at St. John's.

Our worship service begins at 10AM on Sunday; it uses contemporary language and follows Rite II of the Book of Common Prayer. Music and hymn singing are a part of this service. Children come up from Church School for Communion. 

Choir and Music
Music is an integral part of the 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning Celebration of Holy Eucharist as well as the Holy Days of the Church year. We are blessed to have a talented musician who plays with grace and skill. Under Mr. Stephen Sikorski's direction, the adult choir leads congregational singing as well as performing special choral arrangements on Sunday. The adult choir rehearses at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday morning in the Chapel / Hurll Room.
