Welcome! Thank you for your interest in the 11:15 AM in-person outdoor service of Holy Eucharist at St. John's Episcopal Church. There are two easy steps to be ready to worship together:
  1. Read through the Things to Know and Covenant for Regathering in Worship below. By registering, you are agreeing to attend the service and to follow the Covenant for Regathering in Worship. 
  2. At the bottom of this page, click on the link to sign-up to attend a service. 

We would love to see you at this service, but we also realize that it will not be right for everyone.  If our online services are working for you, that’s great!  If our outdoor services do not fit with the precautionary measures that you’re are taking for your own safety, we understand and ask you to do what you need to do!  If the weather is too hot or too cold, we understand.  We will continue our online services.

Things to Know

Due to the limited amount of space in light of social distancing, we are restricting the number of registrations available per service. If the service you want to attend is full, please try a different service or plan to join us online. 
​

In order to register for the service, you will need to agree to safety measures which include:
  • checking yourself for symptoms of COVID-19 prior to joining us and staying home if you are experiencing any symptoms,
  • wearing a mask for the entire time you are on the grounds,
  • maintaining distance between yourself and those who are not members of your household, 
  • bringing your own chair for seating if you do not plan to stand during the service. 
​Be sure to take your temperature to check for fever, monitor coughing (do you have a non-habitual dry cough?), and check for shortness of breath.  More information about COVID-19 symptoms can be found here.  

Where will the service be?  We will hold  the services on the porch in front of the Narthex. The nearby grassy area provides enough space for 50 socially distanced people arranged so that households can worship together.
​

Check-in Table:  When you arrive, you will see a table set up for checking in.  At check-in, we will have a hand sanitizer station,  a few extra masks, printed bulletins, and a sign-in list.  Signing-in is essential, because we are carefully tracking who attends in person gatherings in case we need to do contact tracing.  At sign-in, we will double check with you that you checked yourself for symptoms that day.  We will also have an offertory box available if you would like to make a donation.


Rain?  If rain is expected, we will not have an outdoor service, and we will let you know by email, Facebook posts, and on the web site as soon as possible after the decision is made to not have the service.  We hope that you will join us for online services in case of rain.

​Covenant for In-Person Worship

By registering for in-person worship services, I acknowledge the risk of gathering with other participants in these uncertain times of COVID-19. I am aware of my own risk factors and have taken them into full consideration.  

​As part of this community, I will:
  • maintain a social distance between me and anyone not in my household and encourage other members of my household to do the same.
  • sanitize my hands frequently, and wear a mask while on the grounds of St. John's Episcopal Church.
  • check myself for symptoms of COVID-19 prior to arrival.  If I am not feeling well or running a fever, I will not attend.
  • stay in touch with the church office.  If I subsequently test positive for or show symptoms of COVID-19, I will inform the church by telephone (512-836-3974) or email (RevMinerva@austinstjohns.org)
  • show up for church early in order to make the check-in process go smoothly.
