At St. John’s Church, we are learning what it means to love God and to love our neighbors. As heirs of the Anglican tradition, we have been given many beautiful tools to help us do this.

We use liturgy to help us do this — because we have found that ancient forms of Christian prayer help us order our thoughts and feelings before God.

We use music to help us do this — because we want to offer our whole selves to God in worship, including our minds, including our bodies, including our voices.

We use the sacraments to help us do this — because we believe that Jesus makes himself very present to us in the bread and wine of the Eucharist.

We use the fellowship of our community to help us do this — because we believe that Jesus makes himself very present in the body of his faithful people.

We use service and works of mercy to help us do this — because we believe that Jesus makes himself very present to us in our neighbors.

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.

Announcing our new Organist & Director of Music

 

             Rejoice with us: we have a new Organist & Director of Music!   Thompson Howell is an accomplished organist and lifelong Episcopalian.  He has participated in church choirs since boyhood, and the Anglican musical tradition is in his bones.

              All of us on the search committee were impressed with Thompson.  We were delighted by his command of the organ: prelude, postlude, all elements of hymn requirements, and choir accompaniment.  He expressed a broad range of the instrument and we appreciated the musicality of the pieces he chose and the effect of this repertoire out in the sanctuary. He also ran an engaging choir rehearsal with the Search Committee and choir members.

               He is also a great conversationalist regarding the organ.  He has a background in musical theater, and he is an award-winning voice actor.   We will welcome him here on his first Sunday with us, November 10th.  Please come and enjoy worship with us!
