Stewardship Note: Did you know that St. John’s, with the encouragement and blessing of our Bishop, seeks to implement a program called “Common Ministry.” The purpose of the program is to empower lay people in active ministry whenever possible. Some examples include our lay office volunteers (who replaced our regular paid secretary some time ago.) Their work saves the church about $10 or $12 thousand every year. Another example is our lay internal audit, which saves the church another $10k
