Worship at St. Johns is formal as well as informal; liturgical and yet flows freely. Our worship reaches back into the cherished traditions of the whole Church and also speaks the language of the contemporary heart. Our worship offers praise to the Triune God and shapes our being as pilgrims on our journey of faith.
Join us for worship each Sunday at 8:30am – a non-music Holy Communion service held in Leiby Chapel. This service is about ½ hour in length. The 10:45am Service of the Word is offered in the Sanctuary and lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Our 6pm Thursday Holy Communion is ½ hour in length.
