Christos Anesti!! ☦️
CHRIST IS RISEN!!!

135-/+ of you showed up last night. What a joy it was to celebrate with each of you!

We had people drive from Oklahoma, New Mexico, and all over the Texas panhandle (Borger, White Deer, Fritch, Quanah, Plainview, to name a few) to join us. Thank you!!

So many of our newer inquirers and Catechumens were there for every service - across all ten days! Thank you for showing up, helping set up, bringing food, and for attending with such prayerful reverence.

Finally, thank you to Fr Dan Suciu. His energy truly is unmatched! It was an honor to hear his wisdom and soak up so much time with him over the week.

Glory to God!

We also had our first Bridegroom Orthros tonight.

It is a joy to see our church so full, all the way to the front doors!

Saint John's was featured in the newest edition of Brick & Elm Magazine!

As we like to say.. "Come and See!"

For Panhandle people, “church” can be a singular aesthetic: the specific grain of a wooden pew, the hardware of a pendant light, the way the sun hits the carpet at 11 a.m. on a Sunday morning. We know our own sanctuaries intimately. But apart from weddings and funerals, our experience with other church interiors is minimal.

We wanted to change that. In "Beneath the Steeples," Jason Boyett guides readers through the history, architecture and design details of local churches—from soaring cathedrals like First Baptist Church Amarillo to humble chapels like Saint John Orthodox Church.
