Throughout the year, St. John hosts a number of special offerings and collections to support our local and global community.  This can take the form of promoting disaster relief efforts through our Lutheran partners, collecting money to support members in financial crisis (Helping Hands), partnering with local organizations to provide Christmas gifts for low-income families, collecting personal care items or old books/clothing/luggage/etc to be used in service projects, or collecting gift cards to help those who show up to our doors in need of assistance.
