The majesty of the resurrection
Easter Services
Join us in celebration of the Risen Lord at a variety of worship services
At St. John the Divine, you will find an Easter service that's right for you! From traditional worship in a church decked with beautiful flowers with triumphant music led by the St. John’s Chorale, grand Létourneau organ, brass ensemble, and timpani, to modern worship with music led by the SJD Worship Band and special services planned with young families in mind, you will find a welcome place with our church family this Easter!
6 am begins in the Julia Garden
Easter Vigil
