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.
A NOTE FROM THE
CONSISTORY PRESIDENT
July 2025
A message from the Director of Music & Worship
While we continue the search for a settled Pastor, the summer months present several opportunities for us to worship together and celebrate the ministries of Saint John's Church.
Patriotic Sunday will be celebrated on July 06. Rev. Karl Jones will be our worship leader as we sing patriotic hymns, remember the blessings of living in a free nation, and receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Wear your RED, WHITE, & BLUE!
Our annual "Christmas in July" service will be held on Sunday, July 20 @ 9:00AM. During the service, we will hear the Christmas Scriptures, sing some favorite carols, and also kick off our 2025 Fuel Fund campaign.
Sunday, July 27 presents a special opportunity for us to gather and give thanks. Saint John's will host the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Ordination of Revs. Mark & Timothy Dewald (July 26, 1975)! There will be a special worship service @ 10:30AM. A luncheon in Bittle Hall will follow the service. We hope you will be a part of this milestone celebration!
On Sunday, August 10 we will join with our friends from Saint Mark's Church at Island Park for a combined outdoor worship service and picnic lunch. Worship will begin @ 10:00AM with a picnic lunch following the service. The combined choirs of Saint John's and Saint Mark's will present special music. There will be no 9:00AM service at Saint John's.
"Back To School" Sunday will be held on August 24. Backpack and briefcase blessing will take place during the 9:00AM Worship Service.
I hope to see you in worship this summer as we celebrate and give thanks for the blessings God has given us!
Timothy Gipe
Director of Music & Worship
