The Rev. Ann N. Graves is a trained and experienced Intentional Interim Minister. She has served 7 different congregations in Penn Central Conference in this capacity since her ordination in 1992. She served on the Worship Ministries Team of Penn Central Conference for 23 years and has a special interest in worship and hymnody. Her other interests include sewing, travel and music. She lives in State College with her husband, Robert. Dave Woodle, President of Church & Ministry, will be heading up a plan for the next several months to update the Vision of St. John's. Discussion groups will be held on topics and that input will be used to update the vision. Examples of areas would include: Growth, General Synod-Equal Rights in Marriage Resolution, and Youth Programs. This information will be presented to the congregation to fine tune our church profile to use in our search for a pastor. The Church and Ministry feels it important for the whole congregation to understand what our profile is and what it means so that it can be fully supported by the entire congregation. This process is somewhat different than in past years.
