As persons become more engaged in the life of St. John’s they often have questions about what it means to become a committed member. You can formally join the St. John’s Parish community, and you can also become a member of the larger Episcopal Church.

What does it mean to be a member of the parish?  Our Annual Meeting, this year held on Sunday, February 2nd, is traditionally a day when persons who want be join the parish sign the Parish Register.  Find out more about what membership means at a Sunday Forum after church on January 18th.  The rector, senior warden, and others will explain both the responsibilities and rich rewards of joining with others in this community of faith.

What does it mean to be an  Episcopalian? If you are coming to St. John’s from another tradition, or have not been part of another church, you are welcome to be received or confirmed by the bishop. The next opportunity for this will be at deanery confirmation services scheduled in the spring. As we have done in the past, we will hold a joint Inquirer’s Class with our friends from Old North during Lent and Easter in preparation for reception and confirmation. These classes will cover the history, beliefs, and traditions of the church.
