St. John's Guild

St. John's Guild is comprised of members and friends of St. Bede's Church who come together for fellowship, service, and community support. We meet on the second Wednesday of the month, either at Luther Hall or at members' homes, for a noon potluck followed by a business meeting and program of interest to our members.

As one of the fund-raising arms of the church, we're dedicated to supporting meaningful community programs that make a difference in the lives of others.
