Regathering Update

In accordance with recently issued city and diocesan guidelines, St. John's has updated our covid safety practices. You can expect the following two exciting changes:
 
  • Our full professional choir has returned. (They are 100% vaccinated.)
  • Congregational singing with masks in place is now allowed.
 
For everyone’s continued safety, many guidelines will remain in place, including the requirements that masks be worn at all times, physical distancing be maintained, and signing in should contract tracing be needed. Click here to read the detailed statement from the Rector and Wardens.
 
Free valet parking will be available for services, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. If you are able, we hope you will join us for in-person worship. If you are not able to join us in person, please be assured that we are committed to continuing indefinitely a strong online offering for worship.

Worship Offerings for Children
Parents' Survey welcomes your input and perspective

Many parishioners joined the parents' discussions in March, led by Desirée Stolar. Their suggestions for parents, families, and children's programming shaped this survey. This period of transition provides us with challenges but also opportunities! Whether you and your family are engaged or not, please complete this survey no later than Thursday, July 1. The Clergy and Vestry will discuss the results of this survey during scheduled fall meetings. The survey is available here.

We Are Hiring
Communications Manager
St. John’s is looking for a Communications Manager, which will be a much needed part-time role on our staff. While we do not hire parishioners, you can be helpful by spreading the word. The job description is posted here. 
Join the Greeters Committee
The Greeters Committee offers the first line of welcome to all who attend our services.
In this transition time, when we are limited in how many can be present inside the church, greeters also ask worshipers to sign in so that we can track attendance. Being a greeter is a wonderful way to get to know your fellow St. John’s parishioners and to offer visitors a friendly welcome.

If you are interested in joining the Greeters Committee, please contact Eleanor and Peter Odom.
