Welcome to St John's Church, Pine Meadow
the 'church with the red doors on the green'
We hold weekly services at 10am on Sundays. Most Sundays of the month we have the Service of Holy Eucharist, but we also embrace the practice of Morning Prayer, following the Book of Common Prayer.
Weekly Compline is held on Facebook on Thursday evenings.
Please feel free to stop in for prayer and contemplation anytime. Our Little Free Pantry is open 24/7 and so is the welcome of God's Love in our church.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid." John 14:27
Collect for the Sixth Sunday after PentecostAlmighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
"A Prayer of Thanksgiving: BCP 836"
Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have done for us. We thank you for the splendor of the whole creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life and for the mystery of love.
We thank you for the blessing of family and friends, and for the loving care which surrounds us on every side. We thank you for setting us at tasks which demand our best efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy and delight us. We thank you also for those disappointments and failures that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on you alone.
Above all, we thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of his Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame temptation; for his dying, through which he overcame death; and for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom. Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know him and make him known; and through him, at all times and in all places, may give thanks to you in all things. Amen.
Glory to God The Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
