Looking for a church on St. John

I'll be on St. John for 5 weeks and would like to find a (fairly liberal) church to attend. Any advice from some of you residents? Thanks!

I am not religious so my reasons for going to a service are likely different than yours, but my husband and I have always completely enjoyed attending the Sunday morning service on Jost van Dyke... if you happen to get over there some Sunday morning (since you are there for 5 weeks!) It's a really nice taste of the island's culture, and since we only go every couple of years, we've seen children grow up in a way we never would have noticed just hanging out at a beach bar.

I, for one, always appreciate all of Gromit's posts and am grateful for the help and humor she often provides. So, Gromit, if you have any tips on this topic, I hope you will share.

crdicken- we went to the Lutheran Church in Cruz Bay and the Emmaus (spelling)Morovian Church in Coral Bay. Of the 2, the Morovian Church was the most welcoming & friendliest, the Lutheran one,the Pastor didn't even welcome us and it was obvious we were visitors.
BTW we're Lutherans so prob. expected more from the Lutheran Church.
There's a Lutheran Church over on STT that is beautiful & it's history is amazing. We didn't attend service there etc.

I attended a church service on the beach at Cinnamon Bay when I was on island in March. It was an amazing experience that I highly recommend. I found the details posted on the bulletin board at Cinnamon Bay.
