Worship Schedule: At St. John’s Lutheran Church, we worship every Sunday at 10:15am. Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday. 

Holy Communion    
St. John's celebrates the Lord's Supper every Sunday.  St. John’s Lutheran Church practices Eucharistic hospitality. All baptized persons are invited to the Lord’s table, to receive the Lord’s body and blood for the forgiveness of sin and renewal of life. As a sign of the unity the sacrament gives us, we all share the same elements. If you are unable to receive the bread, due to a food allergy, be assured that in a single element you receive the Real Presence of Christ and the gifts of the sacrament. Grape juice is available for those who require an alternative. Young children and others who do not commune are invited and welcome to come forward for a blessing.  

Volunteer Opportunities during Worship: There are many opportunities to serve during the worship service. You are an important part of our church family and we appreciate your time and talents. You can serve as an Acolyte, Usher, Lector, Greeter, Communion Assistant, or help in the Nursery or the Altar Guild. If you are interested or would like more information, please call the church office at 717-259-0796. All are welcome!
