LAKEPORT >> Northern California Episcopal Bishop Barry L. Beisner, of Sacramento, will make his official parochial visitation to St. John”s Episcopal Church at 10 a.m. on June 29.
This is one of the most important events in the life of an Episcopal parish, connecting the local congregation to the area diocese, the national church and ultimately the worldwide Anglican Communion, Susanne La Faver stated.
Beisner will preside at the celebration of Holy Eucharist, preach, administer confirmation, formally receive into the Episcopal Church those who come from other church backgrounds and offer all an opportunity to reaffirm people”s Baptismal vows. Afterward, the bishop will meet with those present at the hospitality hour and speak with church leaders.
People who are presently worshiping at St. John”s and would like to formalize their affiliation with the parish and the Episcopal Church, should let parish priest Fr. Leo Joseph know at a church service so that the necessary arrangements can be made in advance.
For information, call 349-6563 or visit www.saintjohnslakeport.org.
The church is located at 1190 N. Forbes St. in Lakeport.
