St. John’s Episcopal Church in Vernon is a vibrant parish that shares the love of God with our community while caring for those within and outside of our parish. We are a congregation that prays both with our words and our actions.
Please join us for worship in-person or online. Our Sunday services are usually at 8:00 and 10:00. We stream on Facebook live; the link is in the menu above. We hope to see you soon.
Life at St. John's
Have questions that are not answered on this site? You can use the website's "Contact" page shown on the tab above ("Contact") or send a message directly: HERE
• Do you have to work many Sunday mornings?
• Does your anxiety and shyness make it a challenge for you to "risk" attending a typical Sunday morning service?
• Does your spiritual inclination tend toward the quiet and contemplative rather than the loud and musical?
Perhaps it is worth checking out our weekly mid-week Eucharist every Wednesday at 10:30 am. This is a small but faithful congregation that comes together every week to pray together in relative quiet. There is no music. No one will demand that you join a committee or any other part of our vibrant community. We do a monthly Healing Service as part of this Eucharist and occasionally have a completely optional "Coffee Hour" opportunity for fellowship. Check it out! If you would like more information, you can use the website's "Contact" page (https://www.stjohnsvernonct.org/contact ) or send a message directly HERE.

We have recently renovated our church building to make it ADA-compliant handicap accessible. The access is through the north (upper) side of the building. There are designated parking spaces there with an appropiate ramp. There is also a compliant restroom on that level. We look forward to you joining us!
