-
PARKING - A small parking lot is located next to the church and can be accessed from River Street, which runs behind the church building. Ample on-street parking can also be found on East Main Street and Dock Street. Parking is also available in both Sovereign Bank and M&T Bank parking lots (Sunday mornings only).
-
ENTERING THE CHURCH - You may use either entrance doors on the front of the building. Once inside, you will find a friendly greeter who will direct you to the Sanctuary, which is located on Level Two (or the Chapel on Level One if our service is being held there). If you need the elevator, they will assist you. Restrooms are located on the Ground Level.
-
ENTERING THE SANCTUARY/CHAPEL - An usher will give you a worship bulletin to guide you through the service. Children's activity bags are also available. Offering plates are located on a stand inside each Sanctuary entrance (or just outside the Chapel).
-
DURING THE SERVICE - Please be mindful that the service is being recorded for those who are viewing online. If we are celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the elements (bread and wine/juice) will be distributed by the ushers. The Mite Family Room is available in the rear of the Sanctuary for those who have difficulty sitting for longer periods of time.
-
LEAVING THE SANCTUARY/CHAPEL - At the end of the service, you may spend a few moments in prayerful reflection during the postlude music or exit using either of the stairwells. If you need the elevator, an usher will assist you.

"So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. "
~ Colossians 3:1
April is a busy month here at Saint John's Church as we continue our focus on SERVING GOD and SERVING OTHERS.
We begin the month with our Tenebrae Service on Maundy Thursday, April 02 @ 6:30PM. This very moving service is centered around the church's recently restored Stubrich "Last Supper" sculpture as we recount the events of Holy Week.
We will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with the Sacrament of Holy Communion on Easter Sunday, April 05. During this service we will receive the "40 Days of Giving" food bags for the Schuylkill Haven Food Pantry.
The Mission Team will hold their Spring Clothing Corner Giveaway on Saturday, April 18 from 9AM-1PM (rain date is Sunday, April 19). Those who are in need are invited to come and "shop" for clothing items, accessories, and other basic items - all for free.
Rev. Kevin McLemore, Transitional Regional Conference Minister, will be our worship leader on Sunday, April 26. We look forward to Pastor Kevin's visit with us! A time for fellowship will precede the 9:00AM service.
During April, we are collecting items for the Hillside SPCA. Those who care for our furry friends are always in need of cleaning supplies, dish detergent, paper towels, laundry detergent, towels, blankets, and especially cat and kitten wet food. Items may be placed in the collection box in the Narthex.
May this season be a time of renewal for you and your family,
Timothy Gipe
Consistory President
