A Glorious Easter at St. John's!

After a rainy Holy Week, with solemn Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services, and a Holy Saturday busy with volunteers cleaning and preparing the church, St. John's was happy to welcome family, friends, and visitors for our joyous Easter Sunday celebration on April 20! The Eucharist was followed by an egg hunt for the keiki and a lavish potluck brunch for all in Ho'okano Hall.

St. John's Welcomes Back LCHS Chamber Singers in February 2024

On February 18, St. John's By-the-Sea was delighted to welcome back the Chamber Singers of La Cañada High School (Los Angeles County), who attended and sang two beautiful hymns during our Sunday morning Eucharist. Afterwards we hosted them to a lavish potluck in Ho'okano Hall, and they treated us to more wonderful, a capella pieces. The LCHS singers have visited St. John's three times in the past, and we look forward to seeing them again!
