St. John's Church welcomes you to our website; we hope you will find information here that will lead you to visit our church and meet our members. As a small parish, we have a special capacity to make everyone feel welcome. One of our newest families put it in writing: "We are grateful-more than words can say-for the way you all welcomed us with open arms."

We have a lively Church School, and a dedicated Choir, Altar Guild, and Lay Ministry. Adults and children are active not only in the church; they also volunteer time and energy and provide financial support to numerous ministries locally and worldwide.

Our special traditions include:

• 
  Four times a year, church members hold a Sunday candlelight Taize service: a moving worship service of music, scripture, prayer and meditation that originated in the monasteries of France during World War II.
• 
  At Christmastime, church members adopt two anonymous families and provide gifts of clothing and presents for adults and children.
• 
  In August the church's Annual Chicken Barbecue brings together hundreds of neighbors and friends for an outdoor spread of homemade food, fun and entertainment (All proceeds go to community outreach).
• 
  A joint Palm Sunday service and Procession of Palms with North Guilford Congregational Church.
  

OUR MISSION: To be a visible, caring witness to the living Christ: nurturing and sustaining our members in their faith; inviting all people to share the Good News of the Gospel; and responding with compassion to those in trouble or need.
