Just as the Lay Ministry, the Church Organizations is another place where one may contribute time, talents, or treasures in the celebration of the Eucharist and/or helping draw ourselves, our families, and community nearer to the Risen Lord – The Way, The Truth and the Life.

• ECW: Episcopal Church Women

  • We are Episcopal Church Women committed to one another and called to be witnesses of Christ. Our challenge is to provide a safe place where every woman is free to become the person Christ created her to be. We are called. We are different. We are one body.

• Altar Guild

  • The Altar Guild is a very caring and very blessed ministry. Its primary purpose is to prepare and maintain the Altar and Eucharistic vessels, as well as the Altar and Sanctuary, for all services including weddings, memorials, ordinations, funerals, etc.
  • More Altar Guild volunteers are needed. To those who want to join please see Dawn Osbourne before or after the Sunday Eucharist.

• Brotherhood of St. John’s

  • It has been observed in many Episcopal Churches that this role of bringing men to Christ through prayer, study and service has slowly been abdicated by men to women. Determined to minimize, if not totally insulate, the impact of this alarming trend at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Flushing, the Rev. Dario Palasi tirelessly pursued the reorganization and revitalization of the Brotherhood of St. John’s Flushing. Thus far the men’s response has been positive.

• Sunday School (Click here for more information)

  Our Sunday School program is based on the following passage from the Apostle Mark 10:13-16

  “People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.”

  Sunday School Mission

  Premised on the above passage from the Apostle Mark, our Sunday School Mission at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Flushing is focused on:

  Providing a dynamic, vibrant and loving environment within which a child can learn about the tenets of Christianity, cultivate lasting friendships, and have fun.

  Currently our Sunday School hour begins as the Eucharist sermon starts when the children are asked to go their Sunday school classroom downstairs. Our children’s program uses the Episcopal Church Curriculum and introduces the classes to our faith through the reading of the Holy Scripture, learning Bible stories, church history, and being encouraged to ask questions about God and the world.

  During the Sunday School hour, children learn to sing and read music. Whether they will eventually join our Choir or ever sing in a choir at all, they will be better prepared to raise their voices and participate in congregational singing. We also use the Sunday School hour to train all children as acolytes to explore our Episcopal service and traditions. Throughout the hour-long class, the children are fully engaged and encouraged to think of church as a fun place where fellowship and worship are intertwined.

  Everybody is Welcome to bring their children to Sunday School
