A community of action.

---

In partnership with Salt, the City of Highland Park, and the Villages of Wilmette and Winnetka, we're part of the  "Take Care" Project, which supports migrants who have been arriving in our neighborhood. 

St. John’s is a host site for Family Promise. Once a quarter, we provide meals, housing, and community for one week. 

Volunteers provide meals as well as evening and overnight hospitality. 

We support the Interfaith Action Sunday Soup Kitchen, which is held at St. Paul's

in Evanston. This commitment, generosity,

and compassion helps others enjoy a meal and community during difficult times. 

The St. John’s Angel Tree provides Christmas gifts for grade school students.

We also fill one or two tables with guests and members at the annual banquet and

benefit auction.

Volunteers gather in our kitchen to prepare brown bag meals for those served by The Night Ministry of Chicago. Donations of bread, cookies and cash for sandwich meat and cheese are welcome. 

At least 5% of our Extended Ministry Funds are shared annually with a variety of organizations. Each year our members vote on which groups align with our Mission, and together, we decide who to support.

This group meets the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month. They have sewed and shipped over 1000 quilts to families in need. Come for the morning or afternoon session or both. Beginners welcome!

St. John’s hosts an annual community concert featuring barbeque and great music in support of Family Promise Chicago North Shore. Good BBQ, good music, for a good cause. It's a great time!

St. John’s hosts several 12-step groups that meet at various times during the day. Alcoholics Anonymous and Alanon both are part of the groups that meet weekly at our church in the heart of Wilmette.
