Focused on Faith, Facilities, Food, and Fun, the Earth Guild sets a course on environmental stewardship at St. John’s. The Earth Guild meets the first Sunday of each quarter after the 10:30 am service in the Coffee Shop. Earth Guild is dedicated to supporting the call to care for God’s Creation. It offers opportunities for growth in understanding the church’s role in environmental stewardship, as well as positive actions within our faith community. St. John’s was recognized in 2018 as a certified Cool Congregation for reducing energy usage over 40%. The Earth Guild organizes the annual Blessing of the Animals, which occurs in the afternoon of the first Sunday of October.
