Outreach
St. John’s Community Shop
The St. John's Community Shop, located in the basement of the church, sells gently used goods. We use all of the Shop's proceeds to support outreach efforts to our neighbors in the community who are struggling. We welcome volunteers to assist in running the shop and sorting donations. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Tina Torsey.
