Ministries of Compassion

Jesus modeled a life of mercy and compassion, and as we follow His example, the lives we touch are touched by God and our lives are filled with purpose and power. If you’re interested in any of these ministries or to start something new, contact the church office at 763-682-1883. Here’s a list of just a few service opportunities we have available here at St. John’s.

MOSES

MOSES

MOSES (Members Offering Service to Elderly and Singles)

We help our church family with small projects that are easy and fun for some of us but tough for others. So far 70 members have signed up to help. All St. John’s members can be both MOSES volunteers and request assistance, regardless of age and marital status. Since its inception, MOSES has been a great success.

Here is a sample of duties:

  • Rides to church or medical appts
  • Simple home or car repair
  • Moving heavy items
  • Change light bulbs or smoke alarm batteries
  • Light yard work, gutter clearing, or leaf raking
  • Grocery shopping / pick up
  • Assembly or set-up
  • Basic mobile phone or computer assistance
  • Light housekeeping, vacuuming
  • Mending
  • Meal after surgery or bereavement
  • Companionship, reading, visiting, and phone calls

Our members have a wide array of strengths and are ready, willing and eager to use them. If you are a St. John’s member with any need, even one not listed above, call the church office (763.682.1883 to get connected to the MOSES team. They will try to find a suitable member match.
