Today is our third weekend of in-person worship at St. John's! Here is the central link for worship and classes.

Our morning worship in the sanctuary will be live-streamed at 9am. I hope you will join us!

At 11am we will host Elaine Pagels who will speak about her recent book Why Religion. Click here to attend.

If you have signed up for one of our afternoon outdoor gatherings, I look forward to seeing many of you there.

As we have been having these new in-person gatherings each Sunday, I feel like something important has been returning to the life of our community. It's gradual, but it is a sign of good things to come. There just is no substitute to being face-to-face. I have missed it, and I am sure you have as well.

Not being in-person for so long has felt a bit like having essential nutrients missing from our diet. We can live without certain nutrients for a while, but it is so good to begin to bring them back into our diet.
