Common Table
Every Thursday at noon, people from all across the Seacoast area come to the Common Table for a nutritious meal served in a joyous atmosphere. Housed at St. John’s Episcopal Church in downtown Portsmouth, Common Table is a free meal offered to the whole community. Most Thursdays, diners may also access the Mobile Health Clinic, provided by Goodwin Community Health and Families First.
Breakfast Club
Come to Thaxter Hall for a hearty breakfast, coffee or tea, with good company on Mondays from 6:30-8:30AM. Start your week off with a warm, homemade meal, served with compassion at no charge. Good for body, mind, and spirit!
Young Organist Collaborative
The Young Organist Collaborative (YOC) is a program designed to invest in the next generation of organists. While we are an outreach program of St. John’s Church, our separately administered funds come from direct donations to the YOC. All (100%) of our donations are spent on scholarships and promotion of the program.
Neighbor Care
A network of volunteers creates community through extending loving service and care to our neighbors.
Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
