Join us for Sunday worship at 10 am

 

Our Christmas Schedule

We will have a  Carol Sing outside on Sunday December 15th at 5pm with cookies and hot chocolate following in our warm parish hall.  There will also be an opportunity to enter your name in our Baskets Raffle.   Our Craft Fairies have been busy building specially themed baskets.  One Dollar a chance or Twelve tickets for $10.00.  We will draw the winners after the Carol Sing.

On December 20th Friday at 5 pm, we will have a Candlelight Compline for the longest night.  This  is a tradition of holding space for grief that arises during the holidays. Loss, estrangement, loneliness can surface even during the joy of Christmas. Come join us.

Our Christmas Eve Service will be December 24th, Tuesday at 3 pm.   We offer a traditional service with hymns and a candlelit ending.  We welcome you to celebrate with us the joy and gift of Jesus’ birth.

The Holy Eucharist is the center of our common life and is celebrated three Sundays a month. One Sunday a month, we celebrate a lay-led service of morning prayer. A time of fellowship with coffee and treats follows each service. All are welcomed and encouraged to attend.         

On the first and third Sundays of the month, children ages 5+ are invited to join Youth Spiritual Formation (Sunday School) which takes place during the first half of the worship service. Children return to the sanctuary in time for Holy Communion. 

St. John’s Episcopal Church (on right) and its neighboring North Guilford Congregational Church (on left), together with the burial ground (foreground) at the brow of the hill (where the earliest gravestone is dated 1730), occupy Meeting House Hill which is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. The two churches have also been listed among the most historically significant and beautiful churches in Connecticut.
