Cedar Fund Endowment Fund

"Our future is rooted in today."

In November, 2021 we created a new endowment fund to support the mission and ministries of St. John, and Church Council has committed $10,000 to start the St. John "Cedar Fund." How can you help? Well, you'll notice some extra giving envelopes in the pews, and donations with "Cedar Fund" in the memo line will be gratefully accepted.
