Women’s Guild – 2nd Tuesday of each month at 10:00 A.M.
A group of the ladies of the church meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the church or in homes for devotional, program, snacks and fellowship. All ladies of the church are invited to attend. Fund raising is done throughout the year for various church and community causes. The history of women’s organizations shows that they were founded on a desire and with the ability to support financially the mission function of the church. It is the story of faith and courage. It is the story of the meaning of the Good News and women’s desire to share it through their gifts of money, time, and service. It is the story of women caring for and supporting each other. The women of St. John’s United Church of Christ, with prayers for God’s guidance and help, unite to support the mission of the church, to provide encouragement and nurture for family living, and to be a source of support and fellowship.

Endowment Board – Quarterly
The Endowment Fund for St. John’s United Church of Christ was established in 1990 for the purpose of ensuring the ministry of the church not just for the present but also for the future. Through the forethought and deep feelings for St. John’s United Church of Christ the original six board members (Harold Harborth, William Graeber, Mary Lyn Gerken, Jarvis Rosenbaum, Gussie Kalmus, and Henry Schneider) dedicated their time and talents to establish this Endowment Fund. The Endowment Fund receives and manages any funds or properties donated to it and invests these assets in areas that adhere to the ethical, moral, and social expectations of St. John’s United Church of Christ. These assets and interest earned are used to primarily support the long term value of the church and its programs. To ensure the adherence to the ethical, moral and social expectations of this Fund, the Articles of Incorporation require a Board of at least six church members to oversee the management and investment of any funds or properties donated to it. The Endowment Board is always available to discuss the donations of funds or properties to the Fund in order to ensure that St. John’s United Church of Christ is a viable source of Christian learning, caring and fellowship now and into the future.
