About St. John's
St. John's is a community of faith centered on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth....endeavoring to reflect His love.
We at St. John's continue in the tradition of being a community of faith centered on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. In our community of faith, we endeavor to reflect the command of our Lord that we love one another. In our worship and our life together we are intentional about welcoming all people, caring for one another, feeding the hungry, tending to the sick, and being an oasis for those who are thirsty for the living waters of God's love.
We are also intentional about being challenged by God to become what He wants us to be. We hope that you find St. John's Episcopal Church a place where you are refreshed and renewed spiritually. We Believe..

A Letter from the Rector Fr Alan Sutherland
Dear Friends, 
As many of you know, Judi and I have just returned from a trip to England. The primary purpose was to visit my mom, sister and her family. Judi had never been to England before so we did a little retracing of my life in England. From childhood neighborhoods, to York Minster where I was ordained. From the Church of the Ascension where my faith was awakened and my spiritual journey to priesthood began, to the parish church of Swainby where I preached my first sermon. It was good to see where many new beginnings were made and how they have changed and how I have changed.
On June 1st I will have shared 5 years of our life together at St. John’s. The change has been remarkable in our journey so far. There is not one wall that has not been painted, one floor that has not been resurfaced or refinished. There is not one ceiling that has not been cleaned or painted. Our facility has had a 5 year makeover that has made it very attractive and welcoming. More importantly is the spiritual life at St. John’s. We are not perfect, but the changes in 5 years are very evident. A river of grace flows through St. John’s that floods the community with the acceptance and welcome of Christ. The spirit of love for all of God’s children, no matter what sort or condition, moves freely in the community. The work of forgiveness continues to be practiced as each of us strives to deepen the life of the community.
Yes, much has changed but we have not arrived yet. There is still much that God is calling us to do, and it is our faithful discipleship that will see it accomplished. With all my love and prayers,
With all my love and prayers,
Fr. Alan
A Note from the Reverend Donna Barr
Recently, I came across the book Born For Love; a book that shaped my life in the early 70s. I smiled as I read some of the short vignettes. From my point of view this is still one of the most important and life changing books. Authored by, none other than, Leo Buscaglia, one time professor at The University of Southern California and originator of the course “Love 101.” If you don’t know this author may I introduce him to you today.
