There are a few ways to support St. John’s UCC.

Buy Giant and Weis gift cards, and the church receives 5% back. Save Redner’s register tapes, and the church receives 1% back. Cards can also be used to purchase gas.

Get your gift cards from the office or by seeing Tom Moyer or Carol Raszler every Sunday before or after worship. A collection jar for the tapes is on the table in the lounge area.
