Parish Lunch

An informal lunch prepared by members of the St. John’s Parish community is served each Sunday during the Church School year (from September through May) following the 11:00 AM service in the Dining Room located on the lower level of the Parish House. All are welcome to this gathering where parishioners can get to know one another as well as welcome visitors and newcomers.

It’s been called one of the best fellowship opportunities at St. John’s. It’s a way to meet new friends – both members and visitors – and to catch up with old friends. You can fulfill the biblical injunction to serve others by hosting a Sunday Parish Lunch. Working with your family and friends is fun. Hosts may be reimbursed for expenses, or receive a tax receipt, as they choose. Detailed guidelines are sent to those who inquire.

To sign up to host a lunch and select a date, email Holly Sukenik, the lunch coordinator.
