First Sunday after Christmas
Welcome to St. John's, Troy
December 28, 2025
Dear People of Saint John’s,
I hope this finds you basking in the joys of Christmas! We are still in the season: This Sunday we celebrate the First Sunday of Christmas. Deacon Paul preaches from John 1: 1-18 which is both poetic and theological: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Coffee hour will be provided by Ken Crognale. Come!
Looking ahead, the office will be closed on Thursday and Friday, January 1st and 2nd. Your Ordo church calendars for 2026 are in the narthex; look for your offering envelopes in the first Sunday in January.
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!

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.
