Acolytes

Acolytes help out during church services! Acolytes are like good waiters who help out during a meal, quietly working so the guests have the best experience! Serving at both Sunday services, Acolytes support the in-person worship experience in a variety of ways. Contact: Teddy Blood

Altar Guild

Setting up the space in the sanctuary and caring for historic artifacts is the behind-the-scenes glue that welcomes all to God’s table every week at SJC. Contact: Bertha Rocray

Breakfast Club

Centering Prayer

Centering Prayer is a contemplative form of silent prayer.  On our spiritual journey through this life, Centering Prayer helps us stay focused on what it means to serve God in this life. After a short reading, there is a 20 minute period of silent prayer and then a shared time for reflection and discussion, ending with intercessory prayer. All are welcome to join. Contact: Julie Cook

Coffee Hour

Each Sunday during the program year a Coffee Hour takes place after the 10am service. This is a terrific way to meet new people and get involved in building a sense of community here at St. John's. Contact: Fran Meffen

Reading Between the Lines

Using a resource entitled Reading Between the Lines, we'll use one text from the Sunday lectionary and examine the story as found in the Bible. Next, we see how the story is happening in the world around us, and then look at how the story is an event in our own lives. Contact: Diane Harvey
