Inreach and Outreach
St. John’s ministries to its own members and visitors include healing ministries and services, a Prayer Circle, a Casserole Brigade to support families during times of illness, death, or other stress, education programs, recreational events (our baseball team, the Saints and Sinners,
slugs it out in the spring and summer) and many other activities.
Members of St. John's participated in recovery efforts in Long Beach,
Mississippi in September and October 2005, and again in April 2006. They worked in the clinic and
did general clean up and pastoral care at Camp Coast Care located at the
Coast Episcopal School. Camp Coast Care is a mission of the
Diocese of Mississippi. For more information

St. John’s outward-facing ministries involve financial and volunteer support through
our Samaritan Project, including St. James’ Food Pantry, Bay Area
Seafarers Service, the Evangelical School for Children in Ramallah,
Towne House, A Friendly Place, The Women's Refuge, the Rebuilding
Together-Oakland Program and others.
St. John's also supports the diocesan Episcopal Charities.
St. John’s has a long history of connection with clergy and missionaries to the Diocese of Ruwenzori, in Uganda, and an active
Uganda Group supporting this ministry.
