When a parish member is in crisis or need, our Pastoral Care team is notified, and they are immediately added to our parish prayer list, so that all may pray; in addition, we determine if they need material help (such as transportation, rides, meals, help around the house or just moral support) and respond.
Our clergy team meets weekly to pray for and focus on the special needs of congregation members and visits them, especially those who are ill at home, in a care facility, or in hospice.
Our clergy team is available for private confession, spiritual support, and healing prayers.
Our Knitters
Our knitters (Knit Wits) create warming prayer shawls that are shared with love to church members, family, and friends who are in need of comfort.
To combat isolation and loneliness, we have trained dozens of parishioners to learn how to connect with their friends at St. John via Zoom.
