Faith In Action - A HUGE Success!
Written by Fred Cannady |
 | 
After service, the congregation split up into to small teams to perform a variety of service projects. They included health screenings, Adopt-A-Highway, lunchoxes of love, snack bags and preparation of hygiene kits. At least 200 people were fed and provided with snacks and health screenings. 2 miles of highway in Garner is a little cleaner and others now have hygiene items to help them prepare for a job interview or to just feel a little better about themselves. In additon, a few people were provided with coats to help fight the cold weather. if you are interested in donating a new or gently used coat, please drop it by the church office during normal operating hours or on Sunday morning. Combined, 60+ volunteers participated in Faith in Action, totally well over 120 hours of time. A lot of lives were changed today, and it's all because of your generosity. Stay tuned for details on next year's Faith in Action campaign and ALL of the events that will lead up to it. If you are interested in becoming a part of the Service Ministry or have ideas on projects, please contact Fred Cannady. Remember: don't wait until Faith in Action Sunday to do something for someone else. Make putting your faith in action part of your daily routine!

Words simply cannot express how proud and thankful I am to all of you who took time out of your busy schedules and braved the chilly weather to do something for someone else. On Sunday morning, (October 30th), over 90 people attended worship outside in the cold Fall air. Those gathered included members and friends of St. John's, as well as those living in and around Moore Square. For just a few hours, it didn't matter who you were or whethere or not you had a place to come home. Everyone gathered for the same reason - to praise God.
The Service Ministry is excited to announce the return of Lunchboxes of Love. This monthly service project reaches out to the homeless living in and around Moore Square by providing a simple meal and a time of fellowship. In preparation for our March Chili event this Saturday, March 12th, we are asking for donations of ground beef, tomato paste, tomato sauce and kidney beans. We are also in need of 3 volunteers to help cook as well as volunteers to help serve. Everyone is invited out to fellowship. If you would like to make a donation or to volunteer, please contact 
SHARE A BEAR FOR CHRISTMAS: St. John’s is currently collecting stuffed Teddy Bears for the Share-A-Bear Foundation. The donated bears will be given to children impacted by the HIV / AIDS Virus. Please place your bears in the gift box at the back of the Sanctuary.
ST. JOHN’S TO ADOPT FAMILIES AT CHRISTMAS: St. John’s will once again adopt some families through the Alliance of AIDS Services – Carolina to help out during this Christmas Season. The families’ wish lists will be available on Sunday, December 5th. For more information, please see
