LAKEPORT, Calif. – A simple, meditative evening prayer service is now offered at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Lakeport, on Saturdays at 5:30 p.m.

Everyone is welcome, especially those unable to attend Sunday church or who would like to start the Sabbath observance with an additional prayerful experience.

Worship leader Anne Barquist of Lakeport is officiant. “We hope evening prayer is an accessible form of worship for newcomers who might not be ready for our more elaborate Sunday morning liturgy,” she said.

Regular Sunday services at St. John’s are at 10 a.m., 1190 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.

For further information, please call parish priest Fr. Leo M. Joseph, O.S.F. at 707-349-6563 or see St. John’s Web site www.saintjohnslakeport.org .
