OCEAN CITY – This Sunday, St. John Lutheran Church, 1001 Central Avenue in Ocean City, will celebrate a special baptism during the Rejoicing Spirits worship service. St. John is the first church in New Jersey to host monthly Rejoicing Spirits worship services, and will hold its next service June 8 at 2 p.m.
Rejoicing Spirits is an innovative ministry created to enrich the spiritual lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, friends and other supportive community members. This is done by offering a meaningful, inclusive worship and fellowship community which shares God’s word and celebrates the message of God’s loving grace. The worship service is adapted to be more welcoming to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities so they are able to actively participate and have roles in the service. All Rejoicing Spirits worship is open to people with or without disability and members of congregations may prefer the more casual, open style of worship. The goal is to provide people with disabilities an entry point to church participation that would otherwise not be available.

Rejoicing Spirits worship services will be held the second Sunday of each month at 2 p.m. For more information, contact the church office at 609-399-0798 or office@stjohnlutheranoc.org.
