St. John's Ministries
Adult Education
Formation Class
Held throughout the year. We have offered Bible Study reflections, forums on specific topics suggested from those attending the forums and special offerings such as our Inquirers/Confirmation Class where we explore the basics of our Christian faith and how we live into our faith in the Episcopal Church.
Book Group
Book Group readings and discussions occur intermittently throughout the year and focus on books related to faith and spirituality. Some of the readings have included: For the Bible Tells Me So by Peter Enns and The Universal Christ by Richard Rohr.
Children's Chapel
The Children's Chapel takes place weekly during the Sunday morning service throughout the school year. It is led by two adults who facilitate the discussion and activities. The children take turns doing various roles in their own service such as carrying the cross, lighting the candles, reading the Gospel, leading the children's liturgy, and collecting an offering. After they complete the service, they move to a classroom to participate in some form of activity related to the Gospel message from that week. This includes crafts, songs, games and other learning activities.
Coffee Hour Hosts
We have volunteers who prepare Coffee Hour every Sunday! This is a critical ministry in the life of the Parish as it serves as the principal weekly opportunity for St. John's family and those visiting to socialize with one another. We welcome newcomers and visitors.
Counter Ministry
There are two parishioners that are assigned to count the offering every Sunday after the 10 AM service. This process take about 45 minutes and helps keep track of finances for the church treasurer.
