Holy Week and Easter at St. John’s Episcopal Church
Holy Week is among the most sacred times of the church year. During this week those who follow Christ are invited to follow his journey to Jerusalem, culminating in his passion, death, and resurrection. This is often a good time for those who are searching for some type of spiritual community also to explore a congregation.
At St. John’s we recognize Holy Week as an essential part of our Christian walk. Accordingly, we engage it in its fullness with opportunities for worship each day. Please join us at any of these services of worship.
