O God, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship.
Door of St. Stephen’s, London
St. John Episcopal Church is a community where God leads us in healing, teaching,
reaching out, and stewardship. We are a community that sees Christ in all people and judges none.
We believe in inclusion for all people regardless of race, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.
We aim to break down barriers that separate us from one another and to provide a home for anyone on their spiritual journey. Our work brings together people of faith who believe in the inherent dignity and worth of all people on their journey.
Another year is dawning, Dear Father,
let it be, in working or in waiting another year with Thee;
another year of progress, another year of praise, another year of proving Thy presence all the days.
Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace; another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face;
another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast; another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest.
Another year of service, of witness for Thy love; another year of training for holier work above.
Another year of dawning,
Dear Father, let it be, on earth, or else in heaven, another year for Thee.
Frances Ridley Havergal, 1874
