Easter Worship Schedule
6:30am, 8:00am, 9:00am, 11:30am

Five Hospitality Tips for Easter Sunday

  1. Invite people!
    Invite your friends, your coworkers, your neighbors.  Many people do not have a church home where they celebrate Easter.  Invite them to make St. John’s their home! 
  2. Come to the 8 am or 11:30 am service. 
    Last year the 9:30 am service was so crowded that people actually turned away rather than coming to worship. We never want that to happen again, so we are asking anyone who comes to St. John’s on a regular basis to come to the 8 am or 11:30 am services.  Every service is the same, so give up your “regular” seat for one Sunday so that someone new might come to hear the good news that Christ is Risen!
  3. Park in the Parking Garage.  Save the street parking and the parking lot for those with mobility issues, and park in the parking garage (K Street & 18th).  Don’t know where it is? Ask!  We are happy to show you!
  4. Scootch together.  
    We will need to get a little friendlier on Easter Sunday so that everyone can have a seat, so scootch together!
  5. Smile and Greet Your Neighbor. 
    You never know – that person sharing your pew may be a long-time member of St. John’s or a first-time visitor. Welcome them to worship regardless and make sure they go home knowing what a loving home St. John’s Lutheran Church can be.
Remember, you were once welcomed into St. John’s whether you were three months, three years, or three decades old at the time.  Join us in making St. John’s a welcoming church home for our visitors this Easter!
