| Celebrating and extending the love of Christ from within the Episcopal tradition. |
| Inviting You to Participate Fully All are welcome in this community of faith, hope, and love. We trust that you will experience Christ’s presence among us. We believe that God is commissioning us to celebrate and extend the love of Jesus education for all ages. Worship is the most important thing we do. Through worship, God defines who we are and empowers us to love neighbors near and far. Our encounter with the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, also inspires us to care for each other and to enjoy one another’s company. Our mission and ministry radiate from the baptismal font and altar. Extending beyond this liturgical worship are many ministries, some of which are described below. Please join us for worship at St. John’s. You may contact us at the office Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm, at 369-3381, or at office@stjohnsoflodi.org, or you can CLICK HERE and send a message through this website. Please browse our website, which is newly up and running, and still being improved. We reach out with compassion in many ways: disbursing donated food contributing funds, holding blood drives, undertaking a thirty-hour famine, and sewing or knitting clothing for overseas missions, for example. We share Christ’s love by providing meals, sending cards, and making calls. Many members also serve Christ by volunteering in ministries that sustain our vitality and parish life, such as gardening, ushering, singing, teaching, or helping in the office. |
| St. John’s offers a wide range of educational opportunities for all ages. Our children learn about the Bible and our Christian faith through VBS, Godly Play, the preschool class, Choristers, Summer Music Camp, and seasonal celebrations. Teens enjoy games, Bible study, and special outings. Adult education includes several small groups that study the Bible and other topics of interest. In addition, we hold occasional midweek classes, such as “Positive Parenting,” “The Gospel through the Music of U2,” and “Great Figures in the New Testament.” We also hold retreats for both men and women. |
| St. John’s is renowned for being a warm and welcoming congregation. We celebrate the love of Christ by caring for each other and having fun together. Social events include concerts, picnics, formal teas, men’s barbeques, receptions, meals, and Sunday-by-Sunday fellowship after worship services. |
