St. John’s Episcopal Church, Montclair, NJ

Mark your calendars for Lent!

Ash Wednesday, February 22, noon and 7 pm. Join us for candlelight, Communion, and the Imposition of Ashes. The Ash Wednesday liturgy is a solemn, beautiful, and important moment in our Christian journey, marking the beginning of Lent.
Lent 1, Sunday, February 26
Annual Lent Retreat, Saturday, March 4, 1:00 pm-4:00 pm. We’ll begin in the Church with a meditative Taizé prayer service with healing from 1-1:30.
We will then move to the Parish Hall where, with step-by-step guidance from local artist Debra Cook, we’ll each paint a truly beautiful Celtic cross you’ll want to hang in your home—trust me!
Cost for all the art supplies you’ll need, and Debra’s instruction is $40. Pay Michelle or Rev. Candace in advance or that day. Financial help is available! Coffee & light refreshments will be served in the Powell Room before we begin painting. Let Rev. Candace know if you are coming: text 914-329-6300 or rector@stjmontclair.org Bring a friend!
Lent II Family Service, Sunday, March 5

Welcome to St. John's

St. John’s is an inclusive, progressive, authentic, and joyful community. We dare to see the world as it is, and strive to change it into the world that God would have it be.

We are glad you are visiting our web home, and invite you join us for worship and fellowship.
We are an Episcopal congregation located in beautiful Montclair, N.J. just blocks from the Walnut Street train station and shopping district. We offer two services each Sunday during the school year, at 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. (one service at 9 a.m. during the summer). Children gather for Church School prior to the main service, then join their families for Holy Communion.
