Make A Difference

40 Items in 40 Days

The Social Ministry Committee has a challenge for you. Each day of Lent, remove one clean, gently-used item from your closet or household and put it into a bag or box. Drop off your bags in the Youth Room at St. John's between April 12th and 19th. Items will be sold at our joint tag sale with First United Methodist Church to raise money for charities of our choice. Last year with your unwanted goods, we raised and distributed over $2400!
