We continue to ring our bell every night at 8 pm in prayer for all these people.
We encourage everyone to call each other and to check in frequently with one another.
On Sunday mornings, from 9 am until 10 am we are hosting a forum through the Zoom format on the computer to discuss issues of the week in light of the Gospel. Asking questions, "What is God doing and where can we see God at work in the current events?", "What are issues that we might be overlooking, but might be very important in the long run in light of God's work?"
"What and how might we learn something different, or be renewed in light of current circumstances in the world?"
We send out invitations for this event. If you are not receiving one and would like one, please email us and we will gladly put you on the list. stjohnsinthomaston@gmail.com

We are not a liberal, nor a conservative church. We are a church for all who seek God. We do not endorse any political party nor candidate, but seek to gather together from whatever, or wherever we are in our journey of faith.
We are a Christian Church founded on the love of Jesus.
The mission of the Episcopal Church is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our mind, all our soul and all our strength; and our neighbor as ourselves. What we do and who we are begins in prayer and in relationship to God. From there our actions may lead us in a wide range of ministries and activities.
Are you seeking a deeper connection with God? Are you open to an engaged and more mature relationship with God, others, and our planet? It is our mission to support you and your journey. Come join us, and determine if this is the place God is calling you to be.
