Morning Prayer resumes in person at Saint John's

“As we phase back into worship, I encourage you to do so at your own level of speed and safety. Our goal is to lessen the footprint on Saint John’s campus.”

The Rev. Jay Biedenharn

Beginning June 7th, there will be two services offered on Sundays, which will follow Morning Prayer order of worship:

• The 8:00am worship service is reserved for those parishioners deemed high-risk, which includes senior citizens, physically vulnerable and expectant mothers.
• The 10:30am worship service will be offered for live attendance worship, but also continue to be livestreamed online.
• There will be no Eucharist.
• There will be no Children’s Chapel, Nursery, cookies or coffee hour.
• Books of Common Prayer, Bibles or Hymnals will be removed from the pews.
• Order of Worship Bulletins will be available to individual worshipers
• A maximum capacity of 74 will be allowed in the nave for each service. All overflow will be seated in the Parish Hall.
• Clergy and worship leaders will wear protective face masks.
• Hand sanitizer will be available at various stations and face coverings or masks are encouraged and appreciated.
