Baptisms
In accordance with the directions of
the Book of Common Prayer, it is especially appropriate that Holy
Baptism be administered during regular church services on the following
days: the Easter Vigil, Day of Pentecost, All Saints’ Sunday, and the
Feast of the Baptism of our Lord, or when the bishop is present. Membership and
active participation in the life of the church are expected of
candidates and sponsors. If
you or someone you know would like to arrange for the sacrament of
baptism, please refer to our Baptismal
Policy and contact the Parish Office at least one month in
advance.
Weddings
The celebration and blessing of a
marriage is administered within the context of the Holy Eucharist for
communicant members of the parish who are regular in their participation
and support of the church. If you are planning a wedding ceremony at
St. John’s
, please refer to our Wedding Policy
and make your inquiry at the Parish Office at least three months in
advance. Generally, weddings
are not celebrated during Advent and Lent.
Funerals
Burial services for communicant
members of the parish are customarily held within the context of the
Holy Eucharist. Please
contact the Parish Office upon the death of a loved one to make service
arrangements. If you would
like to pre-plan your burial service, you may complete the form entitled
A Service to You which is
located on the literature table in the Parish Hall or contact the Parish
Office for a copy.
