Opportunities for Fellowship
As Christians we seek to give of ourselves in community. St. John’s affords a variety of opportunities for our members to do just that. In addition to service opportunities listed elsewhere, the following groups provide fellowship at St. John’s.
Anglican Church Women (ACW)
This group of women meets once a month to discuss how the group can be of general assistance to parish and rector. Women of the parish also meet to plan for the annual parish bazaar and to work on craft items for various benefits.
Manawi
This group’s name is a combination of the words “man” and “wife.” Through the years, however, the group has expanded to include single persons as well as couples. Activities are usually scheduled on a monthly basis. Some traditional social events are the St. Patrick’s Day party and the Annual Parish Picnic. All church members are automatically Manawi members.
Parish Events
| Several traditional events at St. John’s provide opportunities for fellowship and friendship including pot luck dinners and the annual parish picnic in the summer. At Christmas parishioners decorate the church with evergreens and poinsettias. The Seder meal is celebrated on Maundy Thursday. A variety of tasty treats and refreshments are served at the Sunday coffee hour following the Sunday services at which time birthdays are celebrated with the “Happy Birthday” song, announcements made, old friends greeted, and new friends introduced. |
