The Ministry of Prayer at St. John’s

Prayer is the heartbeat of a Christian community, and its importance at St. John’s can be seen by parishioners’ faithfulness to prayer. We welcome any and all to the ongoing meetings below.

 
 

Pause & Pray

Friday Afternoon Prayer at St. John’s.  End your week with a peaceful moment of reflection. Join us each Friday afternoon from 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. from October 17 through December 19 at St. John’s for a simple service of prayer and stillness. Led by both clergy and lay leaders, this is a time to pause, to be renewed, and to lift the needs of our community and world in prayer. Everyone is welcome.

Every Monday morning at 8 a.m. (except Holidays) a group gathers on Zoom for a short service of prayer, time for quiet contemplation and a group reflection. Click here to join. For more information, contact Shane Watson.
