Because of rising COVID-19 counts throughout Upper Bucks and Upper
Montgomery counties, the Church Council has deemed it necessary that we suspend in-person worship for the rest of the year. (We do have a special outdoor Family Christmas Eve service planned!) We are returning to online worship only, and pray for swift action, wisdom, and guidance that will reduce the prevalence of this pandemic in our region.
We will be restarting our online coffee hour at 11 AM on Sunday morning to give us a chance to see one another.
Our leadership continues to keep its eyes on the number of cases in our area, and the rate of illness in our area. We will continue to be in conversation with one another, and look forward to the days when we can gather together in person again.
In Christ,
The St. John's Church Council

Welcome to St. John's
In spite of the thousands and thousands of news, social, and adorable animal-based websites on the internet, you're here.
My guess is that it's not an accident. Either through our Facebook or through Google or through some other source, you were looking for more information on this congregation. And I hope that means you're looking for a place to be in touch with the sacred, to be found by the sacred, to be forgiven and to be reconciled and to serve and to be served.
And that's a hard search. It takes time. It can challenge the things we thought we knew. God's Word creates more mysteries to explore than hard facts to argue over. And it's here, it's holy. it's as real as you or me for those who are listening for God's still, and silent voice (1 Kings 19:12).
And that mystery is why we're here. We're a congregation of people devoted to these ministries and mysteries of Christ, given to us by God. We feed the hungry, we console the despairing, welcome the stranger, and find hope in the Word, because that's where God is found. We're a congregation centered around the divine promise of Jesus Christ.
Some of us are struggling with God. Some of us are resting in God. Some of us are finding inspiration in God and doing great stuff. All of us, myself included are learning, as we encounter God in Word and Sacrament.
If that's what you're looking for, you know where to find us.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Axel Kaegler
P.S.: These are my adorable animal go to-s:
