I am Resurrection and I am Life, says the Lord. Whoever has faith in me shall have life, even though he die. And everyone who has life, and has committed himself to me in faith, shall not die for ever.
For none of us has life in himself, and none becomes his own master when he dies. For if we have life, we are alive in the Lord, and if we die, we die in the Lord. So, then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's possession.
Book of Common Prayer, p.491
At the heart of Christian faith is the conviction that life is changed, not ended in death. As a community of faith we wish to offer you support and comfort.
Please contact the Rector for pastoral care and to make funeral arrangements.
If you are member of the community, but do not have a church home, we would be happy to assist you.
The Ann Esch Memorial Garden on the Arch Street side of St John's has been consecrated as a place of quiet reflection and for the reverent internment or sprinkling of loved one ashes.
The St Francis Pet Garden also on the Arch Street side of the church, has been set aside for the reverent burial of our pet's ashes.
For more information on either, please contact thechurch office
