St. John’s Church 175th Anniversary Party
May 21, 2023 10:00 am - May 21, 2023 12:00 pm
The creation of St. John’s Church in Portsmouth Parish was approved by the Annual Council of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia 175 years ago this third weekend of May. For the first fifty years, the people of St. John’s Church worshipped in a Greek Revival building that was located at what is now 415-419 Court Street. In 1898, they moved to their current building at 424 Washington Street.
Join your Olde Towne neighbors this Sunday at 10am as we celebrate this milestone birthday with the people of St. John’s and visiting Bishop Susan Goff. Following the festive worship celebration, an interior drone photo will be taken of all who are present for posterity, followed by a “Death by Chocolate” reception featuring beef tenderloin, new potatoes, asparagus, strawberries, and lots of chocolate delectables!
See you at the party this Sunday at 10am. There is a seat waiting for you!
