Second Saturdays of the month at 9am on Zoom.
Join the Men of Saint John’s for their monthly breakfast, always a good time for conversation and the sharing of hospitality. During the pandemic the group has been meeting primarily via Zoom.

Second Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm.
Join with other men of the church for conversation, libations, and a spirit filled time of camaraderie and fun.

For more information, please reach out to the Rev’d Jered Weber-Johnson.

The young (20- and 30-something) adults of St. John’s gather regularly for food, fellowship, and various fun activities. They get together at least one weeknight of the month, some times just for food and drinks, other times for activities like mini-golf, trivia, or a Minnesota United match.
There’s no expectation that you’ve been involved in St. John’s at all before. Anyone who identifies as a Young(ish) Adult is welcome to show up and hang out!
