caring

Being part of St. John's means being with each other through significant periods in each other's lives. Whether they are occasions of joy and growth, or periods of grief and loss, the important thing is that we love and support each other as we move towards a deeper understanding of God's love for us and what He has done for us through Jesus Christ.

Do you know someone who would be blessed by a visit from a member of our Pastoral team? We are called to minister to the elderly, sick and needy.
