Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20

Lay Eucharistic Ministers- Our lay Eucharistic ministry team takes communion to members who are ill or not able to attend church.

Altar Guild- Our altar guild is responsible for setting up for all services throughout the church year; as well as maintaining the vestments, altar linens, silver, brass and communion supplies.  See Marie Rodli for further information.

St. Luke’s Healing Ministry- This group meets for studying the healing ministry of Jesus using the curriculum/books from the national Order of St. Luke’s organization.  This group offers individual prayers for anyone who would like to come forward following the service.  Contact Jim Taylor for further information.

Parish Nurse/Health Ministry- Current medical and preventative health issues are included in the parish’s monthly newsletter.  A blood pressure check is offered once a month at coffee hour, yoga programs have been presented, and healing blankets are handmade and distributed.  Contact Marty Marsh for further information.

Blessing of the Animals- On Rogation Sunday, the congregation gathers in the churchyard as our priest blesses dogs, cats, hamsters, and beloved stuffed animals.

Parish Bike Rides/Walks- The last Sunday afternoon of the month, a group gathers on the local Rails-to-Trails trail to walk or bike during the summer. Contact Kari Tietjens for further information.

Parish Summer Picnic/Christmas Dinner- The parish gathers on the second Sunday of August for Eucharist followed by a picnic at a local state park.  In December the congregation gathers for a potluck Christmas celebration and holiday fellowship.

Romeo’s/Juliet's- Real Outstanding Men Eating Out and Joyous Unique Ladies Into Eating Too are men’s and women’s groups respectively that dine out once a month for fellowship and fun! Check the bulletin for more information.

Newcomer's Dinner- Vestry members and the Parish Life Committee host an annual potluck dinner for newcomers to the parish.

Weekly Coffee Hour- In case you haven’t already noticed, we at St. John’s like to eat!  Following the 10:00 a.m. service, church members take turns hosting and providing refreshments.  This is our great opportunity to catch up with each other and to greet newcomers. Celebrations are also offered at this time for Baptisms, Confirmations and baby showers.

Caring for Parish- Members of the church care for their fellow parishioners in time of need and joy.  We often take turns providing meals for individuals for families during an illness, other hardship, or the birth of a baby. 

Work Days- Parishioners take great pride in the care and maintenance of St. John's! Days are periodically scheduled to do yard work, painting, and general upkeep. Parishioners also take turns mowing the churchyard.

Always something new…we have recently tried new events such as Game Night and Caroling.  We enjoy each other and being together!  One of the best qualities of being a small parish is the flexibility and speed in which we can throw things together.
