Choir

Our choir, under the direction of our Music Director Patti Kemp welcomes new members at any time. Practise is at 9:15 on Sunday mornings before the service. No prior training or experience is required - just the desire to sing in a choir. The choir takes a break from the end of June to September each year.

Building & Grounds

Our parish takes great pride in our church - the oldest in the Diocese. With the building over 175 years old, it requires constant upkeep. If you have an interest in building or grounds maintenance we would welcome the help.

Membership

Our Membership Committee works to spread the word about the benefits and joys of joining our congregation. The spiritual and social aspects of belonging to a Christian group are apparent at St. John's. Join this committee to let others know too.
