ECW has rummage sales each year which fund several outreach projects.

Community Service Outreach

St John's contributes to several Bandon service projects, especially to Good Neighbors Food Bank. Our drop-off station is the bin in the narthex, to which you may add canned goods and other factory-wrapped food items. Food Bank officials pick up the food from several contributing churches and distribute it on the first Tuesday of each month at 9am from their building in City Park.

EAT (Everybody at Table) serves a community dinner every Tuesday at 5:30pm at the Barn in City Park. Any person in the community is invited, including families and those who are alone.  EAT is funded by local churches and individuals.

St John's contributes to outreach projects in many ways:

Worship outreach includes Altar Guild, acolytes, lectors, intercessors, lay eucharistic ministers, musicians, and greeters.

Pastoral Care outreach includes Sunday prayers of healing and support, hospital visitations, counseling, and services at nursing homes.

Christian Education outreach includes bible study, book clubs, lenten programs, vacation Bible School, the church library, and the annual diocese convention.

Fellowship Activities outreach includes  Sunday morning coffee hours, Friday coffee hour for men, potluck dinners, rummage sales, Episcopal Church Women, and South Coast Convocation.

Outreach Service to the Community and to the World includes the meditation garden, Good Neighbors food cupboard, Fund for the Poor and Homeless, vicar's discretionary fund, Ye Olde Cookbook which raises funds for Bandon Community Health Center, sharing our parish hall with organizations (ie, AA), Good Friday offering, pentecost offering, St Paul's Mission in Powers Oregon, Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Episcopal Relief, and Diocesan Program Assistance.
