Outreach at St. John’s

I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. (Matthew 25:35-36)

Mustard Seed Ministry

St. John’s Mustard Seed Ministry is currently crocheting afghans for the Mainline Health Hospice Program. We meet Monday evenings at 6:30 p.m. at the home of Pat and Lorraine Campbell.

St. Gabriel’s Church

On the third Saturday of each month a team of volunteers travels to St. Gabriel’s on Roosevelt Blvd. to prepare and serve lunch to people from the neighborhood. Right now we have three teams, and more volunteers are always needed. Children are welcome to participate.

Caring for Friends

We periodically gather at church to prepare meals for this organization that serves the homebound and elderly.

Episcopal Community Services

St. John’s makes a donation to ECS each year, but our most important ministry is filling backpacks for children over the summer so they’ll have the supplies they need when they start the school year.

St. James School

St. James School is a faith-based Philadelphia middle school in the Episcopal tradition, committed to educating traditionally under-resourced students in a nurturing environment. The school is a community that provides a challenging academic program and encourages the development of the moral, spiritual, intellectual, physical and creative gifts in its students. St. John’s helps to support this school through grants given by the Merion Deanery.
