St. John's parishioners are asked to reach out to those in need in our community by bringing non-perishable food items to church on the first Sunday of every month. Please place the items in the basket or barrel that you will find in the narthex of the church. Click here for a list of items that are especially needed.
Do you love to sing but get frustrated by the mysteries of music notation? St. John's offers a music-reading class on Tuesdays at 6:30. The class is geared toward church choir members, but anyone who wants to learn is welcome. Call the parish office for details.
At their core, hymns are prayers. Hymns also are excellent study tools. In addition to reviewing the lessons and collects in preparation for Sunday worship, consider studying the hymns, too. Click here for a list of this month's hymns.

Over the past year, newsletter articles have recalled the history of St. John's 140+ years of mission and ministry. This glimpse into the parish's past provided examples of the hard work and commitment given to the building-up of the Lord's work by St. John's congregants from the parish's earliest days. In an effort to ensure that we have adequate and sound facilities for present and future generations to continue that strong commitment to the work of the Lord, the Heritage Fund has been established. Following is the introductory letter from committee chairs Angelyn Bridges and Dan Ervin that was mailed to parishioners in March.
