At Saint John's,
we believe worship
takes all kinds.
And all kindness.
Every family has a story. That is perhaps the only thing they have in common. Some families are born. Some are blended. Some are light. Some are dark. Some are both. Some families are just getting started. Some have been going strong for very long. At Saint John's, we believe worship takes all kinds. And all kindness. That's what you'll find in our church family. And we welcome yours. Whatever your story may be.

Using PayPal, please make a contribution to the Cathedral for its Summer Camp program.
This program serves about eighty children who live in the Brandywine Village area of the City of Wilmington. For five weeks during the summer, the children have a full day’s experience led by a professional educator and a caring and competent staff. For many of these children, the alternative to this Camp is “hanging out” on the streets of the City. Instead, because of the Camp, they have an experience that enriches them physically, mentally, and spiritually. Your contribution will help underwrite the cost of the Camp so that it can be available to children no matter their economic wherewithal. When you make your contribution to the Cathedral include the instruction that it is for the Summer Camp. Thank you.

AN URBAN EXPERIENCE
June 22 – 26, 2009
The Cathedral of Saint John is sponsoring a unique opportunity this summer for students 16-20 to immerse themselves in Wilmington city life. This is an exceptional chance to experience the elements of urban living from many distinctive perspectives. We will be offering an intensive one-week program designed to give participants an overview of the advantages and challenges of city living from the perspective of residents, community leaders, and elected officials.
This program is especially for those with an interest in education, social services, community advocacy, government, or medicine. Students will participate in exciting workshops, make visits to homes and organizations, and talk to city leaders to ask questions and gain greater insights. There will also be a community service project. This is a one of a kind chance to gain knowledge about and personally experience the inner city in a safe and significant manner. The possibilities for personal growth are enormous.
The program will be daily 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Cost is $125, with some scholarships available. All students will receive a certificate for 40 hours of community service; and a life changing experience.
For details, click here to contact the Director, Anthony White.
The Cathedral Church of Saint John is in the City to serve the City by being a presence of God’s Good News in Christ. If you have been thinking about “going to church” but keep putting it off, take action and join us. The sign outside the entrance to the Cathedral says that the Episcopal Church Welcomes You. We mean it, come and experience that.
