Grow in Faith

The Women of St. John’s Church was organized to unite the women of the Church in a fellowship of worship, study, and service, which will deepen and strengthen their spiritual lives, and build up the Church in the parish, the community, the diocese.

All female parishioners of St. John’s Church are members of the Women of the Church. There are no dues and no obligations – just an opportunity to grow in faith and in fellowship with other women as we come together to support the mission of St. John’s Church. Volunteer opportunities are numerous and varied, so there are many ways to be involved with the activities of the Women of the Church.

Our membership meetings are held four times per year and include a short business meeting followed by a presentation and time for fellowship. Our meetings are open to all women of the parish and their guests.

The Chancel Society

 
Volunteer

The Chancel Society is composed of women of the Parish with a special ministry to support the worship offered at St. John’s, and whose work touches every aspect of the life of the church. Their duties are to keep clean and in good order the sanctuary and the sacristies, the linens and vestments, the silver and brass, and to have them ready both before and after every service. Particular opportunities for volunteer service include the following:

  • Arrangement of altar flowers for the Sunday services in the Church and Chapel, and for Funerals and Weddings in the Church or Chapel
  • After Sunday services are completed, the arrangement of altar flowers in smaller bouquets, for delivery to the hospitals, shut-ins, and parishioners recuperating at home
  • Laundering of linens and care of vestments and frontals
  • Preparation of vessels, elements, and vestments for Holy Communion for all Sunday services in the church and chapel, or for Wednesday services in the Chapel, and or for daily services during Advent and Lent
  • Polishing silver vessels used in Baptism and Holy Communion
