For over 80 years, the members of St. Anne’s Altar Society have lovingly cared for the upkeep of the church sanctuary. They are charged with the important task of cleaning, maintaining and changing the altar covers that help to beautify our church interior. Members are also called upon to arrange the flowers that adorn our house of worship during the Feast of the Nativity of our Lord and during Pascha. For more information about St. Anne’s Altar Society, you may contact President Sue Shevchenko (732) 442-1976.
 

St. John’s has long had a rich choral tradition. The Church Choir sings the responses to the Divine Liturgy every Sunday. The Choir also participates in the Nativity Eve Vigil Service, as well as the services for Great and Holy Friday and for Pascha. In recent years, the Choir has presented a Christmas Concert in church that is open to the public. While most of the services at St. John’s are sung in English, the Choir is also capable of rendering responses in Church Slavonic. The present 20-voice Church Choir rehearses on Tuesday evenings. Anyone interested in learning more about the Church Choir should contact the Director, George Hanas (908) 233-4757.
 

St. John’s PTO has long been a valuable supporter of the parish Sunday Church School program. The parent-teacher organization underwrites the cost of all religious education materials needed by the students. This includes taking care of all costs incurred with the running of a one-week Vacation Church School every July. The PTO also plans social and recreational activities for the parish children throughout the course of the year, including: bowling, skating, movies, Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Party, Pumpkin Patch Outing and a “fun trip” at the end of the school year. The organization meets on a Sunday each month during the school year as scheduling permits. Kindly contact President Mary Ann Delcher for more information on the PTO at (201) 512-0739.
