Sunday services at St. John's
We are finding different ways to worship.

Sunday services of Holy Eucharist will be live streamed from our Chapel at 10:00 am in English and at 12 Noon in Spanish.

These services will also be recorded and posted on You Tube. You may access these recordings via our website (www.austinstjohns.org).
Go to the St. John's Facebook page ( Click Here ) and follow the link to the livestream for the service. The link for each service will be available approximately 15 minutes before the start of the service.

We recognize that not all of our members are on Facebook and we are investigating other options for streaming the services.
Although this is a difficult time to "do church", we at St. John's are making it happen! Quite a few people joined us online last Sunday, and we hope for more participation this week.

Please note: The church buildings are closed until further notice! Only Rev. Ann, Deacon Victoria, and Bill (technical support) will be in the chapel for the streaming of the Sunday services.
