What’s a service like? A typical worship service contains these elements: Confession and Absolution, Scripture Readings, the Apostle’s Creed, a Sermon, Prayers, Weekly Communion, and Music and Songs.
Do you have Sunday School? Sunday School for children and youth and Adult Bible classes begin at 10am and end at 10:45am. You are invited to join us in the Fellowship Hall for coffee and snacks after the 8:30 service, and before the Sunday School hour begins.
Do you have a nursery? Our nursery is in the Fellowship Hall. If needed, you may take your child to the nursery and listen to the service while there.

What if I'm new to the Christian faith? We're happy to talk with you and answer any questions. You may also speak with Pastor Cosgrove about you or your children receiving the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. New Member classes are offered periodically throughout the year. Participation in the class doesn’t obligate you to join St. John.
