Episcopal Church of St. John the Baptist - York, PA

   Parish Projects:

The challenges presented by the tough economic times has helped us realize that we have been too "staff driven" in our efforts. After all, St. John's  is truly our parish. In conversations with members, it became clear that we had plenty of volunteers who were willing to assist.

One of the approaches that we want to use is to provide a list of projects where we could use help.

          Parish Projects List       

Please look at the list and if you are willing to volunteer email the church and let them know and we will add you to the schedule.
