WELCOME TO ST. JOHN'S
If you’re looking for a spiritual home, exploring your faith, searching for ways to serve your community, or seeking to make a difference, St. John’s Episcopal Church answers those longings. We’re here to serve your spiritual needs and help you deepen your relationship with God, those you love, and yourself.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF!
We want to make you feel welcome and included in all that makes St. John's the community it has been for over 200 years. Our invitation to worship and share in the ministries of this parish and activities comes from wonderful people of different ages, interests, and talents. In celebrating the glory of God together, you will discover the joy of making new friends, the excitement of making your life purposeful, and the hope that springs from following Christ. Come and belong to a community that worships, learns, and loves.
St. John's holds quarterly "Newcomers' Orientations." At these gatherings, interested persons join clergy, vestry, and members of our various commissions in conversations about St. John’s, its programs, and ways to get involved. If you are interested in learning more about St. John's, please introduce yourself by completing our "Tell Me More" Form, and a clergy member or a member of our Hospitality team will be in contact with you. You may also call the church office at 410-461-7793 ext. 113.
Our next Newcomers' gathering will be held in the Fall. Stay tuned to our Blessings e-news and in-service announcements for the date. If you do not receive Blessings, please join our mailing list here.
St. John's also has a "Getting to Know You" dinner program that brings new parishioners together with active members of the St. John’s community to share a meal and conversation to get to know one another and to see St. John’s through the eyes of “veteran” members. To learn more about the dinner program, contact Peggy Burrows at Newcomers@stjohnsec.org. (Put "Getting to Know You" dinners in the subject line.)
