Saint John’s Episcopal Church, Troy
Come join us for the worship services and more seasonal events.
The Sunday 8 a.m. spoken service follows a more ancient Eucharistic Rite in Elizabethan English. The 10 a.m. modern Eucharistic Rite is preceded by hymns on the tower chime and is both live-streamed and in-person. Hymns are accompanied on the regal pipe organ, and Communion music is often from contemporary repertoire. Coffee hour follows the 10 a.m. services. Join us!
The Thrift Store thrives. Hours for shopping and dropping off are from 9 to 12 on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Do stop by!

Saint John’s garden will be a part of Troy’s Hidden Garden Tour on Thursday, May 25th from 4 to 7:30 pm. Veteran chimer Andy Mace will be playing garden songs on the chime. The sanctuary will be open to view as well, with guides close at hand. The Tiffany stained-glass is especially beautiful in the late afternoon.

The following night will be Troy Night Out. Saint John’s will host a Children’s Garden Scavenger Hunt: Friday, May 26th, from 5 to 7 pm. Children will be invited to find a dozen statues and garden features (Can you find the lion and the lamb statue? the bird bath? the garden gnome? the sleeping angel?).
