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.
Lent is a season of turning — turning back to God, turning away from fear, scarcity, and selfishness,
and opening our hearts to be remade in love.
Through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, the Church invites us to remember that we are dust,
yes, but dust that God has shaped for holy purposes.
