St. John United Church of Christ
Our Worship
Our worship is a time of community when we come to share and express our faith in a group that cares about one another, seeking to apply Christian belief, love, mercy, and fellowship to our everyday living. Sermons are designed to be true to Jesus’ teachings in the New Testament, and to be helpful and encouraging, presenting articles of faith, and ways to live in our complex society, hoping they become conversation starters and avenues for us all to grow as Christians.
Although we would love to have you in our presence, if you cannot attend worship in person, you can still be part of our community by viewing the service live-streamed on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube/@SJRUCC. You may also access the video on YouTube through our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SJUCCRiegelsville.
