IN-PERSON 9 AM SERVICE CANCELED
ANNUAL MEETING RESCHEDULED TO NEXT SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8
Due to unsafe road conditions and inability to park near the Chapel, the vestry has voted to postpone our Annual Meeting to next Sunday, February 8. In-person worship for this week is also cancelled.
Instead, Morning Prayer will be offered via Zoom. Contact sjdoffice@gmail.com if you did not receive the link. If you are on the server schedule to read or lead prayers, you are welcome to fulfill your role during the virtual service.
If you need to visit the Chapel this week, avoid parking on Church Way. Please use only the semi-off-street parking on the Willett Road side. Follow the brick path to the sanctuary doors to enter. Please avoid the double doors leading into the Parish Hall, as that area is currently covered in solid ice.
Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to seeing you online this Sunday and in person next week!

For 130 years, the Chapel of St John the Divine has been a place where people find themselves at home in community and ultimately at home in the family of God. While worship and prayer are at the core of who we are, the Chapel is also a family, a home, a hub for community service, and a welcoming space for community gatherings. We actively provide support to the North Kingstown Food Pantry, which serves over 800 families in our town per month. We seek deeper knowledge of God through discussion groups, celebrate together, support one another in difficult times, and create a strong and vibrant community.
Sunday Worship Schedule
9:00 am Rite II Holy Eucharist with hymns
Our Sunday service is followed by a welcoming and lively Coffee Hour in the Post Parish Hall.
Livestream: To join our livestream services online, visit our YouTube channel. There, you can also find an archive of previous sermons.
About: The Chapel of St. John the Divine is an Episcopal church nestled in the quaint village of Saunderstown on Narragansett Bay. Our parishioners come from all over South County, including North Kingstown, South Kingstown, West Kingston, Narragansett and Exeter, Rhode Island. Parishioners participate in weekly services, fellowship, and ministries that create a warm sense of family and belonging. The Chapel is a hub of community social life, with its longstanding traditions of the ice cream social along with an annual summer concert of the Lafayette Band, which is always held on the Wednesday evening following the 4th of July and the popular Lobster Lunch in August.
Parking: We do not have a designated parking lot. We are located in the middle of a residential area off Boston Neck Road, down Ferry Road and across Willett Road to Church Way. You may park on the street, but please avoid parking on the Chapel side of Church Way.
Accessibility: We have one handicap-accessible entrance on Church Way, which is labeled. If you are in need of additional accommodations such as larger printed readings or hymns, we are happy to provide that. Please let an usher know.
