St. John’s Outreach has discerned to take part serving the San Jose Obrero Mission in Montgomery MN on October 2nd 2022. The Mission of San Jose Obrero is supported as a special mission by ECMN and also has been supported by the SE Mission Area churches for many years. We will provide set up for service ,led by The Rev.Neptali Rodriguez and hospitality for 1-2 meals (depending on attendance),for migrant workers at the Seneca plant. We will be at Memorial Park in Montgomery by 3:30 to set up and serve .

We are excited to do service in-person once again after a long hiatus due to COVID impact on ministries we regularly participated in. Thank you to the faith community for saying “let’s just do it” at coffee hour on 9-4-22 , and for your time and talent in making this happen . We look forward to serving our neighbors in need with your help and support!!

Any questions , please feel free to connect with Deacon Georgia via email glsteele7@gmail.com or at 651-338-2946.

Our Outreach Committee is announcing a donation drive to benefit Connections Ministry Shelter. One of the items needed at the shelter is baggies of all sizes-gallon, quart, and sandwich size. Please bring baggies to the church during the month of September. Let's fill our big basket with baggies! Thanks.
