Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany
Welcome to St. John's, Troy
February 8, 2026
Dear People of Saint John’s,
This Sunday we celebrate the Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany. Deacon Paul will preach from Matthew 5:13-20. Jesus reminds us that faith is not meant to be hidden, hoarded, or kept only for ourselves. Faith is meant to shape how we live and treat others. He will show us how we can achieve this at St. John’s. Our coffee hour is provided by the Dzembo-Littlefield family. Come!
Thompson Howell will be a guest organist this Sunday at Choral Evensong at the Cathedral of All Saints. He will play a solo program at 3:45 pm, and the Choral Evensong at 4:15. Choral Evensong is a form of worship enjoyed by Christians of all denominations and by anyone who enjoys traditional choral music. These worship services are a treat at any time, but I think it would be a special joy to attend when Thompson is playing.
Your Ordo church calendars for 2026, Church Directories, and copies of our Annual Report are available in the narthex.
We are providing the announcements in a separate stack from the bulletins. The announcements are also available in the Thompson Room and online. For those of you who will be worshiping with us via live stream, be sure to let us know that you are there through the chat feature, so that we can greet you at the passing of the Peace. Come join in worship!
With gratitude for our life together,
Jennifer

What to Look For (to Send a Chat)
Once you are viewing the live stream by pressing the link above, there should be a "conversation" to the right of the stream (Top Chat). Like this:
Messages populate from the bottom of the box. You add your message by typing on the "Say something..." line and pressing Enter (or clicking/tapping on the right-pointed arrow under your message). Other messages that come in after yours will file in underneath yours in the running chat above the entry line.
If you're watching the live stream in full screen mode, you'll need to find the chat box. This might be found using the arrow at the bottom center of the screen under the red line. You'll have to click or tap on the screen to see this option, similar to when you want to pause or change the volume, etc.
See that little white down arrow/carat under the red line and Scroll for details? If you tap on that, the screen pulls up, and you see the chat box. You may need to scroll up further to see the "Say something" line.
Sunday Liturgy will be available on YouTube after the conclusion of the 10 am service.
