Due to COVID-19 and the recommendations of our state government, we have moved most of our events online until further notice. The leadership of St. John’s Church is actively monitoring the COVID-19 developments as it relates to the safety and well-being of our staff, members, and local community. Your safety is our top priority. We will continuously monitor the counsel of our government officials and the Episcopal Church of Connecticut, and keep you informed of updates pertaining to any St. John’s events, live services and/or gatherings.
The health and safety of the most vulnerable in our congregation and community remains the highest concern to St. John’s. Remember that many in our communities are not vaccinated; those who are immuno-compromised, and those who have chosen not to be vaccinated for other reasons.
This, and every Sunday, we invite you to join us in-person or online with your family and friends at 10am on Facebook. Please check back often for upcoming events that engage with our ministries online.

NEW BOOK SELECTION
Robertson Davies' "The Cunning Man" current selection to be discussed in early November, via ZOOM
The Cunning Man is the memoir of the life of a holistic physician - a cunning diagnostician who can often get to the root of problems that have baffled others - and a young journalist's query about the circumstances surrounding an Anglican priest's death at the high altar on Good Friday, which leads the doctor to reflect on his own life and career.
The St. John's Reading Club is open to the public and meets regularly via ZOOM to discuss a novel previously selected. It is assumed that all participants will have already read the book by the time of the meeting, at which all will be welcome to discuss their reactions to the work with all the others gathered.
