MINISTRIES
We at St. John’s have been very fortunate that we are in a position where we can share our gifts with those in our community in need of financial support. We have partnered with the Jubilee Breakfast ministry to provide hot breakfast several times a week to those in need, the breakfast is open to all, men, women, and children.
We partner with Central Elementary School, which is a center city school, in one of the most in-need areas in the Allentown School District. In addition to the financial support St John’s give the school, we also have a group of volunteers that give their time to read to the children during the school day and the congregation collects monthly donations of items such as sock and underwear, tissues and Chapstick that are distributed to the children throughout the year when needed. By helping the children, we are helping ourselves become a stronger community of caring and love.
St John's also provides Community Benevolence Grants to a number of non-profits in the area. In 2023, we were able to provide $28,000 to local non-profits!
Music
Music has always been a very important part of the worship services at St. John's. We have been blessed, over the years, with the talents of many musicians, instrumental and vocal, from within our congregation and in the community. We have a rich, musical history that has led us to our current music director, Reverand Lois Mease. Through our instrumental section, we feature handbells and tone chimes that make up our Bell Choirs. Our final piece of musical importance is our Tower Chimes, a nine-bell, hand-operated carillon. We are proud to feature the dedicated members of our choir.
