“St. John’s is our family’s spiritual home and has been for nearly forty years. The felling of hospitality is almost palpable and has not diminished since Kathy and I walked through the doors in 1985. Truly a “thin” place where the earthly and divine nearly touch.”
"I first attended St. John's seven years ago when I retired. Seemed a long 13 mile trip and I wondered how services would be held with bad weather. That Sunday I felt the warmth, hospitality , and love of Jesus inside the beautiful building on the lake. I moved my membership from Trinity Sutter Creek and quickly became involved on the Vestry and the Hospitality team. I am blessed each Sunday since that first day. God bless us all."
"Before St John’s, I had attended a large non denominational church. I have grown to love the intimacy of a smaller body, the shepherding by Rector Peter, and the hymns that we sing to our Heavenly Father."
"St. John's feels like you've always been there, always been a welcomed and valued part of its incredibly warm and open community. There's always something to give, and always people who are giving more than you could expect or imagine. It is truly a church home and a church family."
"As a "cradle Episcopalian" in the middle of my seventh decade and one who has worshipped in Episcopal churches both grand and humble, big and small as well as Anglican churches while living in such diverse places as The Hague, Athens and Tokyo, I can tell you unequivocally that St. John is SPECIAL! There is an intense, palpable atmosphere of sincere spiritually and connectedness. I treasure it every moment and hope it thrives forever!"
