St. John’s would love for you to get involved!

St. John’s parishioners are essential to our community today. Our ministries and outreach programs support those within our church and assist the surrounding communities, which uplifts us.

Altar Guild

Our Altar Guild faithfully prepares the altar and church for services. Their responsibilities include changing and washing altar linens and vestments, updating the hymn board, and tidying up after services. If you have a few minutes to spare, consider lending a hand to support their essential work.

Flower Guild

The Flower Guild beautifies our worship space with stunning floral arrangements and altar decorations. You can support this ministry by sharing your flower-arranging skills or donating money for flowers. Feel free to take them home after the service!

Readers & Greeters

If you enjoy reading aloud, becoming a reader is a great way to share God’s Word and enhance our worship. To participate, add your name to our reader list.

Our greeters ensure visitors and members feel welcome in our worship space.

Servers & Lay Eucharistic Minister

In worship, servers assist the priest in various ways. Children and adults are encouraged to consider this ministry. Duties include lighting candles, processing, and other responsibilities assigned by the priest.

Lay Eucharistic Minister assists the priest and the attendees by offering the chalice during the Eucharist. 

To learn how to help, speak with the priest about training and how you would fit into this ministry.

Coffee Hour

Some churches refer to coffee as an after-church “sacrament.”

We at St John’s love to share food and beverages with others.

During our coffee hour at St John’s, we meet new people and keep in touch with past friends. Additionally, you can enjoy a tasty beverage and a snack before continuing with the rest of your day.

If you’re looking for a place to participate, this could be a great starting point. It is available for people of different talent levels.

You can purchase a treat for those who cannot bake, and if that doesn’t work, you could help set up or clean up. If this sounds exciting, hit the brown button below!

The Endowment Committee

This committee is a dedicated group of parishioners who aim to prepare St John’s for long-term financial success.

If you want to contribute to the church’s long-term success or bring fun back into fundraising, this could be the group for you.

Building and Grounds

Building and grounds are individuals who help keep St. John in the best possible shape. If you like ladders (or not) and are handy, we may have a place for you!

Vestry

The Vestry is a leadership opportunity within the church. The church elects Vestry members, who serve for a specified term.

Pastoral Care

The Pastoral Care ministry aims to bring St. John the Divine to those who cannot attend church.

When we visit those in need, we commonly bring Communion to their homes, hospitals, nursing homes, or assisted living residences. We can also offer healing anointing.

If you enjoy sitting and chatting with others, this could be an excellent opportunity to serve.

Outreach Programs Beyond Our Doors

Our outreach programs extend beyond our doors.

Hospitality Center

The Hospitality Center provides Racine’s most extensive meal program and hospitality to those in need.

As a parish, we donate goods and other items that the center needs. Bringing in something extra can go a long way to touch someone’s life. Check out their current needs!

If you want help, please bring food and clothing items to church.

We are always looking for drivers to bring donations to the center; money is also an acceptable form of donation.

Transitional Living Center

The Transitional Living Center of the Burlington Area offers families and individuals temporary shelter and necessities while helping them develop the skills needed for self-sufficiency, employment, and independence.

We will provide dinner for the residents at TLC on the first Thursday of each month. The menu will include the main entrée, a vegetable, a starch, and a dessert. If you are interested in providing a meal, please don’t hesitate to contact Jessica Markham or the church office.

You can help by donating money or by helping serve.
