Outreach

"Just as you did it to one of these you did it to me."
Matthew 25:40

It has been said that the church is the only community who exists for those outside of it. The community of Saint John's shares the Good News of Jesus Christ by serving those in the community who have need of assistance. A significant percentage of the Parish budget goes to support work in the larger Washington community for those in need. Opportunities abound for those interested in living out the Gospel in this way. Some outreach is financial, much of it is with labor, all of it is personal with an interest in knowing those whom we serve in the name of Jesus Christ. If you would like to find out more about volunteer opportunities at St. John's please contact Landis Jones landisjones@msn.com.

The following is a list of many of the outreach programs to which Saint John's contributes both financially and in personal involvement:

 

Bishop Walker School

The Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys is an Episcopal School for children of low-income families. We nurture the spiritual, intellectual, social, physical and artistic development of our students in a Christian community of learners that welcomes boys of all faith traditions.

Working in close partnership with our students and their families, we strive to create an environment where every boy receives the structured support required to fully develop his unique gifts. We seek to foster the love of learning; intellectual curiosity, spiritual foundation, and moral character each boy will need to achieve his fullest potential as a student, as a citizen, and as a child of God.

Bright Beginnings

Bright Beginnings understands the special needs of young children and families living in homeless environments and through safe, nurturing, developmentally appropriate child care, supports children to reach important childhood milestones and parents to end their homelessness.

Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem

The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, a diocese of the worldwide Anglican Communion, extends over five countries, including Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Israel, within the Province of Jerusalem and the Middle East. There are 27 parishes that minister to the needs of their communities, centered on the Cathedral Church of St. George the Martyr in Jerusalem. The church supports 33 institutions, which include hospitals, clinics, kindergartens and schools, vocational training programs, as well as institutions for the deaf, the disabled and the elderly, reaching out to interfaith neighbors in mutual respect and cooperation.

Episcopal Diocese of Washington ~ Honduras Support

The Dioceses of Washington and of Honduras have had a rich and rewarding relationship of more than a dozen years — some as a formal companionship and recently as informal commitments
among schools, parishes, individuals and Bishops. More than two dozen parishes and schools and hundreds of individuals from the Diocese of Washington have contributed their spirit, love, time, and money to projects in Honduras or participated in pilgrimages which have enriched their lives as much as those of their brothers and sisters in Honduras.

Georgetown Ministry Center Shelter (GMC)

For a total of four weeks in the winter months, two in the late Fall and two in late Winter, we house and feed 10 - 12 homeless guests in our parish hall. On a total of 28 evenings our parishioners and friends of St John's provide over 300 meals to our thankful guests.

Grate Patrol

Twice a month, Saint John's parishioners prepare soup and sandwiches for the homeless in and around the Mall area in DC. This year, we once again provided about 240 gallons of soup and 3000 sandwiches all of which were delivered by Parishioners. This work is sponsored by the Salvation Army which provides our transportation and an escort as we deliver much needed food to the homeless on the streets of our capitol. Saint John's has a wonderful group of unsung volunteers who volunteer their services with in the true spirit of Christian charity.

Joseph's House

The mission of Joseph's House is to provide a home, nursing services, and community for formerly homeless men and women in metropolitan Washington DC who are terminally ill and in the last weeks or months of their illness. While our primary mission is to those with AIDS, as space is available we also welcome men and women with other terminal illnesses.

Jubilee Jobs

Jubilee Jobs specializes in job placement and career advancement for Metro area residents who have struggled to find employment and a community of support. With help from a host of friends, donors, volunteers and employers-they continue to provide work for sustenance, dignity and hope.

Manna

Manna's work focuses on three principal areas: 1) renovating or building affordable homes.
2) educating first-time homebuyers for the process of home purchase and for success as homeowners. 3) training first-time homeowners and their neighbors throughout the city to become community leaders.

Metro Teen Aids

Metro TeenAIDS runs a diverse set of outreach, education, advocacy and community-level programs aimed at helping young people at risk of HIV infection and supporting those who are already affected by HIV/AIDS,

Miriam's Kitchen

Miriam's Kitchen provides individualized services that address the causes and consequences of homelessness in an atmosphere of dignity and respect, both directly and through facilitating connections in Washington, DC.

Seafarers & International House

Seafarers generally come from under-developed countries where the average wayge is low and the employment opportunities scarce. In the global economy, workers from these countries are a bargain - low wages and few benefits - and they are plentiful. So, they are often targets of abuse and exploitation. Additionally, seafarers spend most of their time in international waters, thousands of miles away from home, so they don't have anybody with whom to lodge complaints or vent their frustrations. It is a terribly lonely existence.

Very little international trade is done between under-developed countries. The overwhelming percentage of maritime cargo is destined for the United States and the European countries. We are not merely disinterested observers of maritime operations. We're consumers of a vast variety of authomobiles, clothing, food, toys, and other household goods. We're price-conscious, and we drive down the wages and benefits of seafaring. More importantly, seafarers are human beings - children of God. We need to reach out to them as an expression of our humanity and faith.

Washington Literacy Council

The mission of the Washington Literacy Council is to raise the literacy level of adults and children in the nation’s capital. To do this, the WLC trains volunteers to use a structured reading program based on the latest research in language acquisition. The need for its services is as strong today as when it was founded more than 40 years ago by literacy pioneer Frank Laubach. What began as a grassroots organization in a church basement is now a small but growing nonprofit serving more than 200 students and 200 volunteer tutors and small class instructors.
