e are followers of a Way...

• instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ
• recorded in Holy Scripture
• expressed in the Creeds and Councils of the undivided Church
• celebrated in the Sacraments
• preserved by the teaching of bishops in Apostolic Succession
• observed in the forms of the Anglican tradition

We walk this Way to grow in knowledge and love of our Lord, to strengthen the Light and resist the Darkness within and without, and to strive to live each day within the Word and still within the world. We believe that traditional worship is still valuable and relevant to contemporary society.

If you are seeking a church home or just passing through, please feel welcome.

Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. (Matthew 11:28)

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)

So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

We are in need of an organist to play at our services, typically up to 2 hrs for the Sunday service (hymns from the Hymnal 1940 plus service music). We have a new Rodgers Inspire Classic 227 organ and would love someone looking to build their experience to exercise it. Compensation negotiable. Please see our posting at the LA American Guild of Organists website or reach out to Robert Jones (mcgyvr -at- live.com). Thank you!

19 June 2011 - St. John the Divine Still Standing

Please keep the church and congregation of St. John the Divine (Hereford, AZ) in your prayers. Bishop Rasch has been in contact with Fr. Cyphers and as of Saturday, the fire did not reach the church but came about a mile from it. A new fire south of the church also began to approach but the winds shifted and the fire took a different direction. It still has a less serious threat on two sides, but those are quite some distance from the church. Those at-risk kids that Father works with came over yesterday as the fire was approaching and put sprinklers on the top of the church to wet down the roof. God bless them! Fr. Cyphers felt it was safe enough to turn them off today, but there are still in place if needed. Ramsey Road is still closed but the police have allowed Fr. Cyphers in to check on the church. Two days ago when he went up to the church the parking lot was full of fire trucks and police cars – that never hurts! He gave them access to the restrooms and access to drinking water. And he even made it onto the local television news. Keep St. John’s in your prayers, as well as Fr. Cyphers, and all of the folks who are fighting the wildfires, and all those who have lost homes, businesses, livelihoods, transportation, etc.

Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

from The Book of Common Prayer
