Welcome to Saint John's Episcopal Church in Hagerstown, Maryland
We are a lively, active community of faith. We strive to be a loving congregation, committed to welcoming ALL and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Exciting News from St. John’s
Our New Rector Will Begin in September! We are thrilled to welcome The Rev. Dr. Richard R. Swanson (Fr. Rick) as our new Rector, beginning September 1. For the past 15 years, he has served as Rector of St. John’s-in-the-Mountains in Stowe, Vermont. Our Search Committee, Vestry, and Bishop Carrie are all in agreement: Fr. Rick brings the faith, gifts, and leadership we need to move forward.
His first Sunday is expected to be September 14, and we can’t wait to welcome both Fr. Rick and his husband, Tim, to St. John’s!
Fr. Allan’s time as our Interim Rector will conclude at the end of August. Please save the date for his farewell celebration on Sunday, August 31 (Labor Day Weekend). More details to come!
THE TENTH SUNDAY after PENTECOST
August 17, 2025
In today’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. We are called to trust that God can work through even the smallest acts of love and kindness. As we worship together this morning, may we be encouraged to plant seeds of hope in our community, trusting that God will nurture them into blessings beyond what we can imagine.
