Although the Coronavirus pandemic has complicated the picture for school children everywhere, St. John’s is committed to helping the truly disadvantaged children of Merry Oaks as they prepare to return to school this fall. The Outreach Committee will be organizing a collection for both school supplies and at home supplies once needs are known from Merry Oaks. In the meantime, if any parishioners would rather make a monetary donation instead of buying school supplies, please contact Melissa Conway, Margaret Errington or send a check to Louise Medlin at the church with Outreach/Merry Oaks as the memo. More info to come!
