we try to serve god and others--
In addition to Ministry Groups tending to congregational organization and internal needs, the congregation reaches out to the community, and brings in the community, in service to others.
St. John's Hygiene Pantry-- Contains necessary items, such as shampoo, toothpaste, razors, toilet paper, and laundry soap. The Hygiene Pantry is open 9-12 and 1-3 Monday thru Friday. The Pantry gets donations of items in worship on Sundays or brought to the office during regular hours. Monetary donations are also welcome.
Mason City Community Kitchen--On the 2nd Monday of every month, parishioners volunteer to prepare the noonday meal and to serve. Simply show up at Community Kitchen at 9 am if you want to take part.
Mason City Band Festival Food Booth--For many years St. John's has had a food both at the Mason City Band Festival. We sell hot dogs, brats, soda and other treats.
