Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds, and glorify your heavenly Father. –Matthew 5:15
To serve is to walk in the footsteps of Christ. To help one another is to live out His example. To give aid when it is needed is to take up his cross and be the light we are called to be. As disciples of Christ, we are called to take up the mantle of service and live for others. In acts great and small we are called to live out the example of Christ and let our example shine as a beacon for those who are in need of a little light.
In this spirit, the St. John Service Commission invites any parishioners interested in becoming more involved in the work of service to others to join us next year. The Service Commission acts as a coordination and oversight committee for our parish outreach and service programs, and provides a channel for exploring and incorporating new programs and new opportunities to serve into the St. John’s community. Our role is to be a catalyst for Christ’s call to serve, and a support mechanism for those who choose to answer that call.
The Service Commission meets approximately once every two months for 1 1/2 hours and typically members serve a three-year term. Requirements are that you feel a call for service and are looking for a way to express it. Those interested in becoming a Commission member should visit our page on the parish website for information, or contact Michael Cassa or Mary McCauley.
