"My greatest moment while ministering with the St. John's family was when we hosted the diocese convention.
Their commiment of hospitality to their fellow Episcopalians exemplified their natural ability and desire to serve others.
It was a "3 day moment" which God used both that incredible facility and faithful people as vessels in the fullest sense."

I am a lifelong Episcopalian from Brooklyn, NY. I am married to Richard Varela and we have three grown sons. The U.S. Army brought our family to Fayetteville and we now call NC our home and St. John’s our church home. I am currently a Special Needs Teacher for children ages 3-5.
The Episcopal Church’s rich liturgy and beautiful music have always been a large part of my life. I started singing in the Girl’s Choir at age 8 and throughout my growing years I served as a choir member, lay reader, Sunday school teacher, and crucifer.
At St. John’s I continue my love of church music as a member of the senior and hand bell choirs. Children are also one of my passions and I assist our very talented choirmaster with the children’s choirs. Along with this very rewarding service, I also serve on the altar guild.

Our Vision
Our traditional Episcopal parish aspires to be a fount of spiritual renewal, a place of reflection and an instrument of God’s work in our local community, our diocese and the world, while honoring the history and heritage that make us who we are. |

Almighty God, giver of all good gifts, unite us in love and open our hearts and minds to your voice. Grant us patience, confidence, and understanding to discern your will for St. John’s. Through your divine guidance, direct the person who will become our next rector to hear your call and to walk with us in living faith. All this we humbly ask in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen |
