Outreach Committee

St. John's Outreach Mission Statement:

To Love God and demonstrate that love to all people through acts of service to the underserved, especially the poor, the ill and disabled, the elderly, and children.

St. John's parishioners reached out in many ways during 2008:

The Episcopal Church Women (ECW) of St. John's support several additional ministries, such as: Children's Hospital, The Seaman's Institute, Gardens of the Western Reserve, and Stewart's Caring Place.

The Sally K. Russell Fund for Outreach was established in 2008 in recognition of Sally's generous spirit of giving during her life in this community and in gratitude for her amazing gift to the parish when she joined the angels. An Outreach Opportunity Application to this fund may be completed by parish members and others on behalf of a ministry important to them, in keeping with the Outreach Mission Statement (above). An Outreach Committee has been established to review all applications, following an operating code and Procedures for Allocation of Outreach Funds approved by the Vestry. These documents are available upon request to the church office.
