- Ministries

Individuals, families and friends who are active in the Community Outreach ministries, events and activities enjoy serving as God’s ears, hands and helpers. Feeding and clothing the less fortunate, visiting with the infirm or incarcerated, praying and nurturing others during difficult times — these ministries enable a response to Matthew 25:44. A joy of this ministry are flexible options of a one-time commitment to serving and responding on a regular schedule — with so many activities, it is easy to find several ministries that interest you. If you are interested in learning more about these ministries, contact the individual listed for more information.

Outreach

Deacon Terry, 810-629-1817

We believe a community needs more than government safety nets. We aim to help stabilize families in need. Most of whom are worried about losing the basics of life including food, shelter and clothing. Outreach strives to help all those in need within our community regardless of religious affiliations. Partners in Outreach is an effort to widen the circle of parishioners who form a safety net for those among us who are temporarily living at the edge of despair. In the words of Pope Francis, we are attempting to "open up horizons of hope with our tenderness and love."

Prayer Shawl & Quilt
Office, 810-629-2251

The participants of St. John the Evangelist Prayer Shawl Ministry have found a new way to connect with God – through their knitting and crocheting. They combine their love of knitting and crocheting into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort. Prayer becomes meditation and an awareness of God’s presence in our lives. The actual knitting and crocheting of the shawl becomes a prayerful practice. Many blessings are knitted into every shawl which is a tangible symbol of an inclusive unconditionally loving God who enfolds the recipient of the shawl. Our product is a shawl but our purpose is prayer.
