Our Christian activity is not limited to our particular congregation
but includes the cares and concerns of Christ's whole Church. It is the purpose and
responsibility of the Mission in Action Committee to keep members of St. John's
informed about the affairs of the Presbytery, Synod, General Assembly, and other
vital issues of importance to our Church; and to encourage and enable "hands on"
participation in mission outreach in the name of Jesus Christ.
The responsibilities of the Mission in Action Committee include:
• Inform church members of local, national, and ecumenical issues, and
develop ministry programs by which St. John's Church can address these issues.
Mission In Action meets the fourth Monday of each month (except July) at
7:30 p.m. at the church. We encourage any member of St. John's to become a part
of this vital and active committee.
• Organize and implement special events which will highlight the world-wide
mission of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
• Encourage "hands-on" participation in mission outreach, such as Habitat for
Humanity, Northern Nevada Food Bank, Committee to Aid Abused Women, and other
local mission outreach.
• Recommend annually to the Session the extent of our financial and spiritual
support of our Presbyterian Missionaries.
• Convey to the congregation special mission needs as the occasion arises.
