Father Al's Message
Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
There is something very special about a small Church like St. John's where the warmth of a loving and caring community are experienced each week. We invite you to join us as we worship Almighty God - The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, the Trinity, One in essence and undivided. We also invite you to explore the wisdom and teachings of the Holy Bible and the Church Fathers as we seek to grow in the love and grace of God. Though we are few in number, nonetheless, St. John's is fully the Orthodox Church of our Lord Jesus Christ, offering the spiritual fulfillment your soul cries out for in your deep inner desire to be at one with God. Let's walk together, hand in hand, living the life and learning how to continually benefit from our relationship with God and with one another. May our Lord bless us all as we experience the wonder of His Holy Orthodox Faith.
