Easter 2024

Easter at St. John's

The invitation matters. The invitation tells us of an event. It tells us when
to be present & what to expect. It tells us that we are wanted.
Jesus invites everyone to be in relationship with Him. And Easter, including the
empty tomb, proves just that. 
Sundays 8:30 & 10:30 AM
Children's Church & Nursery available at each service

Palm Sunday

March 24     8:30 & 10:30 AM
Holy Thursday helps us to remember the day before Jesus offered Himself to be crucified on a cross, a fate that He didn't deserve. Jesus was fully God and fully man. He knew that His earthly ministry was coming to a close. Join us for a reflective time of worship, prayer & music.
Nursery will be provided for infant through 4 year olds.

Easter Services

March 31    8:30 AM & 10:30 AM
Nursery will be provided at each service but there will not be Children's Church. Families are all welcome in our services and should you need a quiet space, we have our Quiet Room available with full view and sound for our 10:30 AM service.

Where do I enter the church?

Lots of doors here at St. John's! If you parked in the Main lot, use the 2 blue double doors. If you parked in the Handicap Accessible lot, use the double door entrance-closest to the Sanctuary. If you parked in the FLC lot, walk towards the building and enter the courtyard- you will see glass doors which bring you to our FLC lobby.

Where do I park?

St. John's has 3 parking lots. Main lot on Ganttown Rd (near playground), Handicap Accessible lot on Ganttown Rd (small lot between house and Sanctuary) and FLC lot behind the church (use the driveway in the Main lot to access this lot)

What do you have for the kids?

Other than Easter,  we have nursery and Children's Church during our services.  Both are fun spots for children to play, have a lesson and sometimes a snack. On Easter, we do provide Nursery as well as our Quiet Room with full view  & sound of the 10:30 service. 

Do I have to give an offering?

Offering is not required to be given. Offering is just that, it is a gift. We do have a time of offering during our services as well as online options to give.

Is there a dress code?

Jesus says, "Come". Come as you are or come in your finest. On Easter Sunday,  sometimes people will dress up a bit more but it is certainly not a requirement. 

What is a Sunrise Service?

Our 6:30 AM Sunrise Service takes place at Duffield's Farm, 280 Chapel Heights Rd, Sewell. Bring a chair & dress warmly. We do provide coffee, bagels and donuts. It is a beautiful way to begin the celebration of Easter with a time of worship and a message.
