St. John is a very welcoming parish. The first time I visited, I was made to feel right at home. I was invited to stay for a meal after the service and got to know many of the parishioners. St. John's offers a Sunday school for babies and young children. The music is beautiful and follows the Orthodox tradition of singing acapella style (without instruments). The service follows the Russian Orthodox style that was brought to the North American continent in the 1700's and maintains a connection to traditions that go all the way back to the Christ and his Apostles. I encourage you to visit and experience the service and the friendly congregation.
