Pastoral Ministry...

"The service of the Gospel has
nothing to do with age"

The homebound of our parish have gifts to offer our   community and need to know we walk with them even though they aren't able to be with us each week at  Eucharist. We are trying to compile a more complete list of homebound parishioners, so we can include them in parish life.  Please call Anne Marie at the parish office with names of parishioners you know are homebound.

PRAYER LETTER MINISTRY
The Prayer Letter Ministry is a very active, important part of St. John's--Donna Craig prepares the written material faithfully each month and the prayer letter is then mailed to your home--no meetings, no time away from home, just time to hold up in prayer many special intentions.  If you would like to be part of this ministry, please call Anne Marie at the parish office.
