The Youth Group is looking for people to provide dinners for our Sunday evening meetings. If this is something you feel you are able to do once a year or once a week, please contact Kathy or Jacob for more details.

Caring Connections
We provide spiritual care to those of any age who are lonely and/or isolated. Our mandate is to call or visit those who are unable to attend church and to provide communion to them on occasion.
Refugee Working Group
When St. John’s decided to take on a second refugee family, the “Refugee Working Group” was established. Our two families are thriving in their new community.
