St. John’s Church Board (Consistory) is pleased to announce the following changes to our public health policy in the sanctuary:
Wearing a mask in the sanctuary is now optional, although we maintain a mask-friendly culture. We will continue to provide regular blue surgical masks if someone should want or need one; when in doubt, please mask up.
In the interest of following the best public health advice and caring for the most vulnerable among us, we continue to recommend that all attending worship in person be vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19.

WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU.
ALL ARE WELCOME
Welcome are those who are single, married, separated, or divorced. If you own a home, rent an apartment, live in someone’s basement, rely on a community shelter, or may not be sure where you’ll lay your head tonight, you are welcome here. Crying newborns, children who need countless reminders to sit still, teenagers who know it all, adults who know they don’t, and those who can’t navigate the aisles like they used to are welcome.
We welcome those who sing like our worship leaders, or like our pastor, who reads God’s Word like few others, but sings like the rest of us. You’re welcome here if you are “just browsing,” just rolled out of bed, or just got out of jail. We welcome all who are in recovery or are still addicted. You’re welcome if you smell like a department store fragrance counter or if you don’t.
If you have plenty of problems or are pretending that you don’t, you are welcome. Inked, pierced, liberal, conservative, straight, Black, white, brown, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, you are welcome here. Seekers, doubters, lost, or found… walking with God, or being carried by God… all are welcome… and so are you.

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows
me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

NEW HERE?
Nothing reminds us of our insecurities quite like stepping out of our comfort zone to try something new. When your “something new” is a first-time visit to St. John’s, you can trust you will be welcomed.
