Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. You are invited to join us for the start of Advent on Sunday, November 29th at 10:00 a.m. for in-person or Zoom worship. CDC guidelines on social distancing and the wearing of a mask are followed.
As is our custom at St. John’s UCC, we will stay after worship on Sunday, November 22 (this Sunday) to prepare and decorate our sanctuary for the Christmas/Advent season. Your help is needed and appreciated.
Those staying are asked to wear a mask. To help with social distancing, plans have been made to limit some of the decorations and to have all boxes and decorations out and ready to go. It is hoped that we can safely work together to create a beautiful Christmas atmosphere.
November 29th is the first Sunday of Advent.
If you are planning to stay or to come up and help please RSVP to the church office this week to help us plan better, but this is not required. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Due to Covid 19 and our not currently meeting or worshiping in person, the Mid-Year Congregational Meeting was postponed from July 26, 2020 until Sunday, August 16, 2020 via Zoom. Our morning worship service will be led by Rev. Felix Carrion and towards the end of the service the Mid-Year meeting will convene. As with each week, members are encouraged to worship via Zoom with us.
Due to the rise in recent Covid 19 cases and our concern for our church members and our community the Church Council has decided to return to our worship services being via Zoom only (no in-person worship). This decision is effective immediately and covers the month of July at least and will continue to be evaluated as we go through the summer months.
The Zoom invite and worship bulletin will be emailed out weekly for your use. We continue to keep each of you in our thoughts and prayers. Should a concern arise please know that you can still contact the church office.
