St. John in the Wilderness Episcopal Church

    Memorials and Gifts

      The committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Vestry for the use of gift and memorial money and for keeping an accurate and updated record of all gifts and memorials. 
      Memorial and gifts donations have contributed to our worship experience for over 150 years. We are all blessed with the generosity of many. During 2014 we received donations for painting the exterior of the entire building and a children’s outdoor play set. 
      The Approved Giving List includes the following:

    Surplices and Cassocks 
    Bi-fold doors for the Parish Hall 
    Cloth covered folding chairs 
    Lightweight round tables 
    Altar linens (par aments) 
    Remodel Main Floor Unisex Bathroom 
    New prayer books, hymnals, and library books 
    St. John's Endowment Fund 
    Children and Youth Endowment Fund 
    Special Music Fund 
    Outreach Fund 
    Cemetery Fund 

      The committee invites all to consider memorials and gifts to St. John's that are or are not on the list. If you have questions about memorials and gifts for loved ones, please feel free to contact any committee member. All memorials and gifts need to be approved by the committee and the Vestry before purchase or donation. We all can help spread God's blessings.
