St. John's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. John's Episcopal Church uses a combined summer schedule of Holy Eucharist, Rite II, Sunday at 9 a.m. through September 6, with the service also available on Zoom. Because the regular program-year schedule resumes after that date, later visitors should verify current hours rather than assume the summer time continues. A Thursday noon Eucharist is celebrated in the Chapel of the Resurrection. Online daily prayer is available through diocesan partners in English and Spanish. Worship follows the Book of Common Prayer and reflects traditional Anglican liturgy, sacrament, choral music, and what the parish calls incarnational beauty.

Children are not separated from congregational life: they may participate as ushers, lectors, choristers, and acolytes, while Sunday School and children's chapel return on a published fall schedule. Acolytes may begin at age nine. Other worship roles include choir, readers, ushers, altar assistants, and an Altar Guild that cares for vessels, vestments, linens, and candles. In the wider Lafayette community, St. John's supports Food Finders and Lafayette Urban Ministry. LUM addresses food insecurity, housing stability, and justice; its Protein Food Pantry distributes proteins, produce, and paper goods. The congregation also joins the annual Hunger Hike to raise awareness and funds against hunger, combining advocacy with direct volunteer service.
