Serving our Commmunity

The Book of Common Prayer teaches us that the “church carries out its mission through the ministry of its members,” and St. John’s Parish is a community committed  to helping each other and those around us, locally and in the larger world.

PROVIDING MEALS
We provide meals to the sick and infirm or those who may be recovering from surgeries or illness.

EASTER BASKETS
One of our parish ministries for years has been providing food for families in need, the elderly, shut-ins, etc. There has been a tradition for many years to provide Easter Baskets of food at the holiday season for those who have less than we.
For more information about Easter Baskets, contact Eileen O'Halloran here.

ST. JOHN’S YOUTH GROUP UPDATE

This year we are again collecting money for “Food For The Poor” in Sunday School, through the kids’ giving boxes. We have raised over $300. If you haven’t already, please join us in supporting this worthwhile cause. The kids will be bringing their giving boxes to church between now and Christmas.

PARTNERSHIPS
The St. John’s In-reach/Outreach committee is focused on actions - both within our small town and in the wider world. We volunteer to serve the community and support and partner with local and global organizations dedicated to helping others, including:

• Regional Hospice and Palliative Care, Danbury, Connecticut.

Additionally, donations from events to Equine therapy, Fire house re-construction, Wounded Warriors

Come join us in our efforts! Through our outreach we try to live out Jesus’ words in Matthew 25:

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing,
I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.”

Please come join us!
