We invite you

to worship with us!

PARKING - A small parking lot is located next to the church and can be accessed from River Street, which runs behind the church building. Ample on-street parking can also be found on East Main Street and Dock Street. Parking is also available in both Sovereign Bank and M&T Bank parking lots (Sunday mornings only).

ENTERING THE CHURCH - You may use either entrance doors on the front of the building. Once inside, you will find a friendly greeter who will direct you to the Sanctuary, which is located on Level Two (or the Chapel on Level One if our service is being held there). If you need the elevator, they will assist you. Restrooms are located on the Ground Level.

ENTERING THE SANCTUARY/CHAPEL - An usher will give you a worship bulletin to guide you through the service. Children's activity bags are also available. Offering plates are located on a stand inside each Sanctuary entrance (or just outside the Chapel).

DURING THE SERVICE - Please be mindful that the service is being recorded for those who are viewing online. If we are celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the elements (bread and wine/juice) will be distributed by the ushers. The Mite Family Room is available in the rear of the Sanctuary for those who have difficulty sitting for longer periods of time.

LEAVING THE SANCTUARY/CHAPEL - At the end of the service, you may spend a few moments in prayerful reflection during the postlude music or exit using either of the stairwells. If you need the elevator, an usher will assist you.

A NOTE FROM THE

CONSISTORY PRESIDENT

September 2025

“For just as each of us has one body with many members,

and these members do not all have the same function,

so in Christ we, though many, form one body.”

~ Romans 12: 4-5

We all want our church to grow and thrive. However, supporting the church is more than giving money. It is about actively participating and investing in our faith community. Here are some ways to support Saint John’s:

1. ENGAGE - One of the most impactful ways to support our church is by becoming more involved in its events, ministries, and activities.

2. VOLUNTEER - Volunteering is a great hands-on way to support our church. Whether it’s assisting with outreach activities, helping with church maintenance, or singing in the choir, your time and talents are important. Volunteering at the church also fosters a sense of belonging and purpose.

3. PRACTICE STEWARDSHIP - Stewardship in the church involves responsibly managing the resources God has entrusted to us. This isn’t just about money; it includes time and God-given talents. This contributes to the church’s sustainability.

4. WELCOME - There is nothing better than feeling welcomed when you enter a place where you don’t know anyone. For a newcomer or visitor, it may mean a lot to simply say “good morning” or ask if they need anything. Creating a welcoming environment encourages visitors to come back.

5. SHARE - Word-of-mouth is often the most powerful way to get the word out, so churchgoers can use social media to promote church events, services, and activities. Sharing church content can help spread the word and invite more people to participate in church activities, which expands the church’s reach.
