This is a Parish in the Episcopal Church upholding the heritage of Catholic Faith and Order as received in the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Saint John's Church is a church community in the Corsicana area where traditional Anglican worship, community-minded service, and strong Biblical teaching are the foundation of parish life.

Saint John's Church is passionate about the worship of God our heavenly Father in the Historic Faith which has been entrusted to us in the Church, the Body of Christ. Our beautiful liturgical worship brings us together each week in a celebration of God's abundant grace, and calls us to bring the Good News of His Son Jesus Christ and to serve others in our community and the world as we are fed with the Real Presence of Jesus Christ at His altar. Carpe Diem!

Saint John's Church affirms the authority of Holy Scripture in all matters of doctrine, worship, and morals, and is committed to remaining within the Anglican Communion through its association with the Diocese of Dallas membership in the Anglican Communion Network and Common Cause Partnership.

We invite you to join us this week, and to meet us after the liturgy for coffee and refreshments in the parish hall. All visitors are welcome at Saint David of Wales, and any baptized Christian may partake of the Eucharist at the altar, knowing what is offered is the Real Presence of Christ. We look forward to meeting you!

Read below for our Summer Sunday Adult Programming Information

Summer Sunday School
The Summer Christian Education term will be held from June 20 through August 8.

During the Summer Sunday School session we will begin a series called “Introduction to the Bible” will serve as a gateway to more in-depth study of the Bible during the Fall and Spring Sunday School terms. Participants will become comfortable finding their way around the Bible, develop a better understanding of its themes and writing styles, and gain clear insights about use and interpretation of the Bible.

We will be using a series called the Little Rock Scripture Study, produced by the Roman Diocese of Little Rock.

In the fall, we will undertake a study of First Corinthians, which will last for 10 weeks.

Summer Bible Study Groups starting to form
This summer, we will have several opportunities for study and growth:



Women’s Bible Study
This Wednesday evening study will once again be held. Please contact Denise Hambrick if you are interested in participating.

Men’s Bible Study
This year, we will try to have an evening time of men’s fellowship and Bible Study. Eddie Hambrick will be coordinating this. Please speak to him if you are interested in participating.

Theology on Tap
This once a month Summer program will feature discussion of Christian theology while enjoying some adult refreshment. We will have guest speakers come and talk to us about a variety of topics.

Vacation Bible School
