These are the heart and center of our parish community at worship. Eucharistic Ministers serve the Body and Blood of Christ during mass or communion services. This ministry is extremely spiritual and personally fulfilling. Lectors must love the Scriptures and be competent readers to proclaim effectively God's word, the word of salvation for all people. Parish members who have completed fourth grade or higher are eligible to serve.
Ushers are pivotal in setting a welcoming tone to our worship service.
Gift Bearers represent the worshipping community returning a portion of God's gifts to him in the offertory. Vocalists and instrumentalists combine to enhance the liturgical experience of our community. At St. John's we have a wide variety of musical ensembles - from children's choirs to adults, from singers to bell ringers, from organists to guitarists. Activities include proclaiming Christ's message, leading children to worship and pray, motivating children to serve others, developing community, and sacramental preparation. High School Religious Education is focused on preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation .
