Worship and building updates

May 19, 2022

“Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.”   Philippians 2:4

In response to the CDC revising their Covid-19 reporting, the Church Council of St. John has updated our metrics to align with theirs. As long as the Covid-19 Community Levels remain at or below “Medium” as reported on the CDC website, https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view masking is optional and Holy Communion will be celebrated with participants coming up to the altar to receive the elements. Prepackaged wafer/juice will continue to be available as you enter the sanctuary to be consumed in your pew for those who are more comfortable doing so.

The 8:00 a.m. (9:00am summer) service will be livestreamed and available on our YouTube channel. 

The Council continues to review information from health officials and will modify our guidelines and worship services as is appropriate.
