Rector Search Prayer
Almighty God, who knows the needs of this parish, look graciously on the people of St. John’s.
Bless and guide the hearts and minds of the Search Committee, Vestry, and all concerned in our
search for a new rector so that we may receive a faithful priest who will care for your people and
equip us for our ministries. We pray for the gifts of listening, patience, wisdom, and trust so that
we may discern your will, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
St. John’s Episcopal Church, 515 E. Division Street will offer a Blue Christmas Service on Wednesday, December 18, 6:00 pm. ALL are WELCOME!
Blue Christmas? Yes, Christmas can be a painful time for some. It may be the first Christmas without a loved one; it may be a time that has always been difficult. The anguish of broken relationships, the insecurity of unemployment, the weariness of ill health, the pain of isolation … all these can make one feel alone in the midst of celebrating and holiday joy. An opportunity to acknowledge sadness and concern and to know that others share these feelings can offer encouragement for the days ahead.
Come and hear prayers, readings, and music that acknowledges God’s presence for those who mourn and struggle … and that God’s Word comes to shine light into the darkness. ALL are welcome. The service will be followed by a time for refreshments and fellowship.
St. John’s Welcomes You
Welcome to Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Springfield, Missouri. In this beautiful gothic-style building, erected in the latter part of the 19th century, we find God, worshiping God in the beauty of holiness. Whether it’s called Mass, or The Lord’s Supper, or The Holy Eucharist, Jesus Christ is as present with us in the bread and wine as he was with his first disciples 2,000 years ago.
We welcome all people, with no exceptions. All we ask is that you be open to the revelation of God that has been given to the Church through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ Jesus. We are named for Saint John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” who wrote of Jesus as the light that shines in the darkness, and which the darkness has never overcome. That light shines in the hearts of our diverse membership. We want nothing more than to share that light with you.
Join us for Sunday service beginning at 10:30 a.m., or Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
