Missions & Outreach
St John’s is a mission driven church. Below are descriptions of some of our missionary work and how you can get involved.
The Chapel
We have a lovely chapel dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is also affectionately known as a "Lady Chapel." It's an intimate space and is not large enough to incorporate the health directives from the CDC. Our Lady Chapel is closed for now.
Community Meal
The last Saturday of every month several members of the church bring hearts filled with generosity, kindness and the Holy Spirit and present nourishing food to our fellow man. We cook and serve our guests family style at decorated tables so that our guests feel honored and at home. St. John's feeds between 20 to 30 people every month and although the faces change month to month, the numbers remain the same. Our luncheon is held at the end of the month in an effort to help those in need make it financially to the end of the month. The Community Meal is suspended indefinitely at this time.
Episcopal Relief and Development
With the money we raised for Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD) we helped provide medicine and health services to ten people for the coming year, and fifty trees have been planted.
The ERD does great things, from providing food and health services to helping make the lands people live on livable and provide a living. Thank you for your generous donations, and keep thinking about ERD and the work they do around the world.

Christmas Sock Drive
This has become an annual drive with socks shared between those in need at our outreach lunch, the Neighbors’ Place, and the Salvation Army!
Food Pantries
The Salvation Army, Neighbor’s Place, and First Presbyterian Church all provide food for our neighbors who simply cannot stretch their own budgets far enough. When you shop, please pick up something extra to place in the food basket. Thank you!
