St. John’s Spiritual Life Groups nurture the spirit in intentional communities.
In the wider community, we advocate for hunger relief, safe housing, and accessible health services. We pursue our mission through local and global partnerships, personal service, supportive prayer, and financial contributions.
We believe God is revealed in many ways, primarily through Scripture, the wisdom of the church and its history, and our own reason and experience. These are the “tools” we use to search for God.
Wherever you may be in your spiritual journey, we welcome you!
The music program at St. John’s engages people of all ages in a wide range of musical possibilities. Our ensembles provide a sense of belonging, a place where people care about one another. Together we discover what it means to sing and rejoice in the Lord through music.
The ministry of pastoral care is shared by every member of our parish. As Christians in community, we care for one another.
St. John’s ongoing impact relies on you — our parishioners — to commit time, talent, and financial support, to sustain the ministries that improve the lives of our members and the communities we support.
We are so glad you found your way to St John the Evangelist Episcopal Church. Whether you are a long time Episcopalian or have never stepped foot in a church, we welcome you!
Join us Monday through Friday mornings for online morning worship via the SJE Daily Office Facebook page. We also offer Compline and Sunday services in-person and online on our YouTube channel.
Morning Prayer services are held at 8am every weekday. It is said directly from the Book of Common Prayer using Rite II (contemporary) language and lasts no more than 30 minutes.
Morning Prayer, or Matins, is the first of the four daily offices in our current prayer book. In traditional monastic contexts, the first words of Morning Prayer break the Great Silence kept from Compline the previous evening. It consists of a seasonal cycle of psalms, readings from Holy Scripture, canticles, and prayers for the world’s needs. This cycle is in sync with the liturgical seasons marked at the Sunday celebrations of the Eucharist, providing a bridge from one Sunday to the next. The readings and prayers invite us to steep ourselves in the themes of the Christian faith and listen for the voice of God speaking to us.
For up-to-date information on the services, including posts highlighting the themes to look out for in the week’s readings, check out our Facebook page.
