The Second Sunday after the Epiphany

Honoring the Life & Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
January 18, 2026

Saint John’s Episcopal Church marks Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day with a focused call to worship, conversation, and service grounded in the life of Jesus Christ.

Our guest preacher and forum leader is the Reverend Canon Randy Callender of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, who will help us reflect on what it means to live as people of mission—and how the Church is called to respond faithfully to the world around us.

Worship is offered at 8:00 and 10:15 a.m.. Between services, from 9:15 to 10:00 a.m., Canon Callender will lead a community dialogue focused on how Saint John’s and its partners engage in meaningful service beyond our walls.

The day concludes at 2:00 p.m. with hands-on service projects supporting St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Lappans, St. James Episcopal School, and Saint John’s, led by Father Brandt Montgomery and Deacon Sue Wert.
