RECEIVING DIRECTLY FROM the common cup

Since returning to Communion in both kinds, we have been receiving by intinction; that is, dipping the host into the chalice rather than receiving directly from the chalice. Beginning on Palm Sunday, we will resume receiving directly from the chalice. We will, however, have a second station for those who wish to continue receiving by intinction. As everyone's health has been and remains our highest priority, we continue to ask that, if you have not been vaccinated, are immuno-compromised or are not feeling well, please consider joining us in worship vitrually.

YOU CAN ALSO JOIN US ONLINE

If you are not able to join us in person, we invite you to join us in our worship online. We gather on Zoom beginning at 10:30 a.m. Sunday for a virtual coffee hour and check-in time. We will livestream the worship on Zoom and Facebook Live at 11 a.m. If you would like instructions for joining us on Zoom, please contact us HERE. If you would like to join us on Facebook, we invite you to visit the St. John's Facebook group HERE .

WHO IS THE NEIGHBOR?

Jesus asked, "Who was the man's neighbor?" We want to answer that question, "We are the neighbor." Whether you live next door or across town, we understand ourselves to be neighbors, and we seek to live into the pledge we make in our baptismal covenant to seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbor as ourself. It's how we understand our identity as Christians. We welcome you to join us in this holy work.

WE PRAY EVERY DAY

WHO IS THE NEIGHBOR?

We believe God knows our every prayer before we pray it, but we also know the power of prayer. Prayer is foundational to our common life, and we pray every day, for those in need, those who are sick or suffering, for the church, the nation and the world. We also pray every day for those living in our neighborhood. How can we pray for you? prayer@stjohnssilsbee.com or 409-385-4371.
