A spoken Service of Holy Eucharist Rite One is celebrated in-person and online.
THE FEAST OF ALL SAINTS | This Sunday November 3, the Feast of All Saints, we remember those who have shaped us, celebrating the blessings of their lives and the connection we all share. As we gather to celebrate the sacrament of baptism (at the 10AM service only), we welcome new members into our community, honoring the timeless bonds that unite us across generations. As we reflect on those who have come before us, we also embrace the next generation, who will bring their own light, kindness, and compassion into the world.
The service of Holy Eucharist, also known as Communion or Mass, is the most important celebration of the Christian church. "Rite I" is the version of the liturgy that most closely follows the traditional language used in the Episcopal church and other Anglican churches for many generations in older versions of the Book of Common Prayer. Rite I was created in the Book of Common Prayer published in 1979. The 8am Holy Eucharist celebrated at St. John's using Rite I from today's prayer book is a quiet and contemplative service without music.
