Join us on YouTube for Worship This Sunday at 10:30 AM
As we live into our new reality of striving to stay connected during this time of social distancing, our Sunday worship is a central event in our week where our onsite worship team and the St. John's community far and wide join together live through YouTube. Here are current instructions on how you can participate in this Sunday's services. Please note these may evolve over time.
Sunday services will be at 10:30 on YouTube Live. You can get directly to our channel here:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJnwFyi9KgX1ia1C7JZasZg.
For Sunday morning, you can download the bulletin with selected hymns and the worship booklet in advance. Then you can view them digitally on a tablet or computer, or you can print them out for use during the stream, whichever makes most sense for you. You need to print the worship booklet only once as we reuse it week by week. The bulletin is updated each Sunday.
You will be able to download all of these materials on our website: https://www.stjohns-jp.org/online-services. They will also be available on YouTube in the livestream's description.
We encourage you to send in your Prayers to be read during service. Email Liz with those in advance here: parish.admin@stjohns-jp.org
We are also compiling a list of healthcare providers in our community who do so much at this time of outbreak. If you have a name to add to this specific list, please send it to Liz.
You can also list additional prayers during the service in the chat function on YouTube. Please feel free to participate in The Peace, Prayers of the People etc. during the service. Liz will monitor the chat during the service.
