Faith Formation & Fellowship
GROWING IN CHRIST
At St. John’s, we wholeheartedly believe that Christian formation does not stop at the church doors.
We incorporate formation into our entire parish life and consider our Parish Life ministry to be a major component of our formation program and an extension of our liturgy.
Hear Their Voices
An annual three-month long initiative that brings the voices of lesser-known spiritual figures into the Sunday liturgy and pairs them with themed activities and food in the coffee hour.
Face2Face Heart 2Heart
An effort that, through teaching, preaching, and workshops, systematically teaches people proven skills to foster love in their own life and the lives of others.
St. John’s, Georgetown Unleashed
Ministry Madness
A yearly, exuberant celebration of ministry that showcases St. John’s, Georgetown variety of ministries to the parish through ministry involvement in the liturgy on Sundays and corresponding events during coffee hour.
Past “madness” has included coffee hour trivia contests, game shows and games of skills, and other hands-on demonstrations and experiences designed by the individual ministries for the entire parish.
The Advent Prayer Series
An initiative involving preaching and teaching about prayer throughout the Advent season, which is then extended into coffee hour activities and the physical space of the church and the parish hall.
This has included a workshop on writing prayers by a noted author, a hands-on workshop in making origami cranes with prayers written on them (which then decorated the parish hall’s Christmas tree), prayer-filled fortune cookies, a “prayer swap,” in which parishioners drew names to identify individuals to pray for daily throughout the season, and the installation a “prayer box” at the entrance to the church.
