JOHN HUS MORAVIAN CHURCH MINISTRIES
Apart from our worship services we provide a variety of services including:
Food Pantry 
Our Food Pantry is run by the Outreach Committee under the guidance of Garilyn 'Martha' Martin and is open to the public on the First Saturday of each month unless otherwise advertised. The program is totally underwritten by the church and provides culturally appropriate and appealing food items to the participants. The only criteria for participation is that names and addresses be provided. Distribution usually starts at 9:00am, although persons are usually in line before 7:00am. This is one area in which we do ask for your financial contribution to ensure that this ministry continues. Sister Juliet Mayers is the Coordinator of the Outreach Ministry.

Sunday School provides the early opportunity for awareness and training of our young people in our Christian faith as well as in what is Moravianism and how that should be expressed in their daily lives. Through a dedicated team of teachers including Arlene Ricketts, Ruth Ricketts, Vernalyn Rowe, Ingrid London, Ivalyn Jarvis, Chloris Hicks, Jean Straker-Tannis, Edith Valentine, Karlene Woodbine and Grace Peters, this important ministry is kept vibrant and relevant. Sunday School is held on Sundays at 10:15 am and there is always a snack available afterwards. We will arrange to pick up your child if you contact our office with this request.
Praise Dancers - One of the most recent additions to our worship experience is this very dynamic group that is open to young ladies of all ages. As they practice on Saturday mornings at 10:00am, they learn that the dance ministry is not simply about displaying their ability to move artistically but that it is also using this medium to shed light on the gospel. They bring high quality performances to worship and special events and are always open to persons who share this interest. Choreographer and Artistic Director is Arlene Rickettts.
