Building until 10:15 AM (with a break during the summer)
10:00
AM - Godly Play overlaps with the 10:30 a.m. service, but
will allow the children to join their parents for communion. Godly Play takes
place in the refurbished chapel area of the Parish Hall. Godly Play
establishes a sacred space specifically for children, provides accessibility
to both the liturgy and the shared Christian stories in a relevant context,
and teaches in an experiential way that emphasizes discovery.
10:30
AM - Holy Eucharist, Rite I (Traditional Language) or Rite II (Contemporary
Language), with music and Choir (60 minutes). (Young children are invited to attend
the “Children's Chapel" in the Parish Hall chapel area. The children
are allowed to join their parents for Communion.) Every 5th
Sunday is designated as “Youth Sunday” with Youth involvement in the
prayers, readings, and contemporary music in the service.
11:30
AM – Coffee, snacks, and fellowship in Parish Hall
|
1:00 PM - Spanish Language Service (60 - 90
minutes with Communion). This relatively new service grew out
of a partnership arrangement with the Rev. Jose Palma, Vicar of the
Hispanic Episcopal Mission of San Francisco de Asís located in far
south Austin. The Rev. Jose Palma and the St. John’s Rector, the
Rev. Al Rodriguez, still team up each week to co-celebrate this
Spanish-language service, which is currently drawing an average of
65 to 70 persons per week. The service accompanying guitar music and
Spanish hymns are provided by a dedicated family group of musicians
from San Francisco de Asís.
Although the majority of the people coming to this service are mostly
Spanish-speaking, the Spanish language service is not intended to be a
separate or distinct congregation, but one part of the St. John’s church
family. We see this new Hispanic ministry at St. John’s as being especially
active in providing the traditional sacraments, including Baptisms, First
Communion celebrations, as well as Quinceañearas for girls celebrating their
fifteen birthday. |

1:00 PM - Misa en Espanol - Esta
misa y Santa Comunin es una colaboracion entre el Padre José Palma de la
misión Hispana de San Francisco de Asís y el párroco, el Rvdo. Alberto
Rodríguez de la parroquia de St. John's (San Juan). San Francisco de Asís
atrae gente del sur de Austin, mientras la iglesia de San Juan se enfoca en
el norte de la ciudad. El Padre Palma y el Padre Rodríguez juntamente
celebran la misa que atrae un promedio de 65 a 70 personas cada domingo. La
musica de la misa se provee por parte de la familia Guerrero, una familia
dedicada al ministerio musical en la misión de San Francisco de Asís.
Aún la mayoria de la
gente que viene al servicio de la Santa Comunión a la 1:30 de la tarde es
principalmente de habla Hispana, el intento es que este grupo hispano sea
parte integral de la congregación de San Juan, y no un grupo separado o
aislado. Este nuevo ministerio hispano tiene la meta de ofrecer a la gente
los santos sacramentos, especialmente, el Bautismo y la Primera Comunión,
asi también como la Quinceañera y Presentación del Niño al Templo. |
