Clothing Ministry
Volunteers Needed!

​We are beginning a new clothing distribution Sunday mornings in support of our friends at Mercy Community Church. Volunteers are needed to help with distribution on Sunday mornings from 9-9:30 am. Look for signup details in the Weekly E-News along with other volunteer opportunities.

Clothes can be donated Monday - Friday between 10 am - noon. Men's pants and jeans sizes 34 and smaller along with men's boxer/underwear are greatly needed. Thank you!
Sign up for In Person Worship
Sundays 10:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
SIGNUP HERE!

Please sign up to attend in-person worship services in the coming weeks. As services fill up, we will add a second service as needed. You will also note there are opportunities to volunteer for clothes distribution at Mercy prior to worship. Sign up to help in the same place you sign up for worship. 
​
This decision to return to in-person worship was made by the Reopening Team and Church Council based on updated CDC guidelines and COVID-19 data from Georgia’s Department of Public Health. We intend for our worship services to be welcoming to all, vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. To ensure a safe reopening at St. John’s, we are adopting the following guidelines for in-person worship services:
  • 30-minute service indoors, live-streamed on Facebook for remote worshippers
  • 40 spots available for reservation
  • Masks and physical distancing will be required
  • Group singing will be limited to worship leaders only
  • Offering plates will remain at the doors
  • Communion will be offered after service outside, weather permitting
  • Coffee hour will remain suspended for the time being
For a statement of ecumenical, interdisciplinary guidance for in-person worship regarding mask use and social distancing, in light of the latest guidance from the CDC, please click here.
Once you have signed up, please check your email for additional information about the in-person service procedures and expectations.
Although we are currently limiting our Sunday in-person worship service to 40 spots, we will also offer a second service on Saturday evening based on additional demand.
