Fellowship Ministry

This ministry continues to serve families in a time of need and in some cases celebration.  

If you are looking to assist with set up or take down of tables/chairs, or perhaps can help out in the kitchen, or as a server at a funeral reception, or

an occasional luncheone, or fellowship after church, this could be the place for you!  Please contact Ann Cunningham by clicking here if you would like to volunteer for our Fellowship Ministry.

Gardening Group

Got a green thumb?  Even if you don't, St. John's Gardening Group would love your help!

We have beautiful grounds surrounding our church, and they are kept looking spectacular in the Spring/Summer seasons by our dedicated gardeners who meet on Tuesday evenings weekly.  If you would like to lend a hand, please click here to send an email.
