"Dear brothers and sisters, to those who ask us our reasons for the hope that is in us, let us point to the Risen Christ. Let us point to Him with the proclamation of the Word, but especially with our resurrected life. Let us show the joy of being children of God, the freedom he gifts us to live in Christ, who is true freedom, freedom from the slavery of evil, sin and death!"
WORSHIP: The Intimate Encounter with Christ
Liturgies
The Mass is the primary place of intimate encounter with the Risen Jesus here at St. John’s. Why does the Church ask those who make up the Body of Christ to gather at least once a week to receive his living Presence in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? Because “without me, you can do nothing” (Jn 15:5). This is the humble recognition of those who seek to love the Father by “keeping Holy the Sabbath” every Sunday.

Altar Servers
You may volunteer to be an altar server if you are in fifth grade or above. Training for altar servers is HELD on an as-needed basis, usually once a year, and consists of four sessions lasting 1.5 hours each. Once trained, servers commit to assisting at one mass per month, at a minimum. A monthly schedule is created and posted one week prior to the new month. Please contact Michelle Hayes, Altar Server Coordinator, with any further questions at m1chellewh@aol.com. Elva Riley coordinates altar servers for special masses.
Ushers
The Ushers at St. John's welcome parishioners and visitors to Mass with a warm smile and a greeting. Ushers are also responsible for collecting the offering, distributing the parish bulletin, and ensuring that the pews are tidied up after Masses.
We need help at all Masses, so if you would like to share your time and talent by participating in this ministry at St. John's, please contact us at sjeushers@gmail.com.
Hello Children's Liturgy Community!
We are excited for a new season of Children's Liturgy at Saint John the Evangelist! In order to keep the tradition of educating our littlest parishioners every Sunday at the 10:15 Mass we need your help. We hope to have two teachers upstairs for the Preschool group, and two teachers downstairs for the Kindergarten/First Grade group each Sunday. No experience necessary to sign up!
Thank you for your commitment to this wonderful program for our young people!
God bless,
Shannon Garvey, Jessica Love, and Carolyn Yong
