Greetings from the Rector
We greet you in the Name of our Lord, Jesus
Christ.
Worship is the heart of our life at Saint John’s.
Sunday by Sunday we gather at God’s Holy
Altar to share the Sacrament of the Eucharist, using the rich
traditions of the Book of Common Prayer. Scripture is always emphasized and our
preaching supports traditional Christian values. At the 8:00 AM
Service, using the 1928 Book of Common Prayer the service is spoken;
at the later 9:00 AM (Rite Two) and 11:15 AM (Rite One) services,
the organ plays and our choir leads us in majestic and powerful
music in praise of Almighty God.
Our chapel is open daily, Tuesday - Friday
for Morning Prayer at 9:00 AM.
The chapel is a place of quiet prayer
and strength, a place where God is especially present for us.
The Holy Eucharist is celebrated
Wednesdays at 7:00 AM and again at 6:00 PM with Holy Unction in the
chapel.
Since its earliest beginnings Saint John’s has joyfully remained true to
their beliefs, to the community, and to the teachings of Jesus
Christ and the historic Church.
The official meeting of seven families to
organize
Saint John’s
was
held on February 7, 1924. The property at the corner of College Avenue,
Elizabeth
Blvd., and Page Avenue
was purchased in 1925 for $10,000.00 and building began in the spring of
1925. Our
current church built in 1952 is fashioned in the style of a rural
English parish.
The heart of
Saint John’s always has been its people.We are striving to unite as one
body to
spread the love of God found in Jesus Christ. Saint John’s has much to offer anyone
seeking to live the Christian life, ranging from Bible study, the
Daughters of the King, the Brotherhood of Saint Andrew’s, adult
formation, children and youth ministry, and a heart for mission and
service to the poor and needy.
Please contact the church office about any
of your interests or questions.Our web site has improved our
communication and the sharing of information in a timely manner.
God bless, and I remain,
Your brother in Christ,
The Reverend David F. Klein, Rector
