Our Community Activities

Community activities, managed by our Social Ministry committee, are very important to the members of St. John Lutheran church. We begin our awareness at home, and then lift our view to include our neighborhood, our community, and our world. We have also reached out to our service men and women with the armed forces in Iraq.
