All Hallows' Eve service is a festival in the church that recalls the faith and witness of those who have carried on and cherished the Christian faith throughout history. The service celebrates the Church's continuing communion with these men and women and memorializes the recently deceased. It comprises scripture readings, testimonies about saints, and anthems. The name of the service comes from its celebration on the night before All Saints' (or All Hallows') so it's "All Hallows' Eve," or "Halloween" (Halloween costumes are welcome at this service!).
St. John’s is now open for in-person worship. We are using spacing and social distancing protocols. Morning Prayer Services are at 10:00 a:m each Sunday Morning. All are welcome. This is the House of The Lord.

The Big Show
Please tune into our Facebook page on Wednesday evenings at 6 P.M Eastern time for The Big Show. Our Senior Warden Ron Smith and Kelly Meacham host an informal, fun and sometimes fact filled show that we describe as a sort of virtual Parish gathering. It’s a chance for all of us to gather and have a little fun during these trying times.
Compline
Join us Thursday evenings at 8 pm est for Compline worship. This service is streamed on our Facebook page. Kelly Meacham leads this sevice. You can follow along in the Book of Common Prayer, or just join in and listen.
Why Compline?
Compline was a service to close the day, an opportunity to give thanks for the joys and graces experienced, a chance to confess the (many) sins committed throughout the day, and the perfect moment to close the day the same way it started: in doxological prayer. If Morning Prayer—or whatever service you use to begin your day—is designed to start the day off right then Compline is designed to end it well.
Bible Studies That Work
Please join us on our Facebook page each Sunday Morning at 9:00 a:m for a Bible study on the lessons and Gospel for the day. You can find the readings for the Sunday Morning services on our Facebook page, or The Lectionary Page.
Join us at 9:30 on our Facebook page for Children Time. A series of videos and discussions on stories from the Bible structured for kids, or kids at heart. Join Kelly each week as he explores a different story.
