Dear members and friends of St. John,
As the coronavirus vaccine continues to roll out and our communal safety precautions have helped bring Covid numbers down, St. John is in a position where we can begin to offer limited in-person worship services for those who desire them. While the future is unpredictable, we believe that we are able to safely provide some opportunities to worship in the sanctuary given community Covid numbers, our new screens, and the prevalence of vaccinations in the area. St. John will begin providing worship outdoors when the weather allows, and we’re confident that sometime this year, we will be able to return to regular worship services in the sanctuary.
In the meantime, we will offer special worship services as we are able in order to try to meet the spiritual needs of members. We encourage you to continue to worship virtually via Facebook or Zoom if you have found this sufficient. Just to be clear, our in-person worship options will be limited and may not include communion or singing, and will not include fellowship time.
Since everyone’s needs and expectations are different and to help us ensure everyone’s safety, if you would like to be present for in-person worship we ask that you register so that we can prepare our worship space appropriately. In order to register, please fill out the Google form or call the church office at 701-232-8521. After we’ve heard from you, we will reach out to you with the information that will assist you in worshiping in person. If you have any questions, please let us know.
Peace,
Pastor Erick Thompson
