The Grounds

Parking

All parishioners in good standing will be issued a parking sticker that allows them to park in the St.

John's portion of the parking lot (speak with Jeannie in the main office during the work week) . You may park in the parking lot in a marked space on Sunday morning until noon. We have an agreement with First National Bank that we may use the lot on

Sunday morning. However, everyone must be aware of the following: 
 

1. St. John’s only owns the parking spaces in approximately the north two thirds of the

parking lot. The south portion is owned by First National Bank. First National rents

some of their parking spaces and uses the rest of them for their own employees. If you

park in the spaces owned by the bank, other than Sunday morning, your vehicle

is likely to be towed.
 

2. The spaces owned by St. John’s are lined in white. The spots with yellow lines belong

to the bank.
 

3. St. John’s rents the spots on the west side of the parking lot (ten spots) and you

should not park there as you could be towed.
 

4. We do not consider a St. John’s parking permit a permit to park in the lot for long

periods of time for other than church business. You are welcome to park in the lot

for a couple of hours while doing business in the area though you should not park in the lot

all day while attending or teaching classes at ISU or tending to other business in the area.

If you park to go to a movie in the evening please do not park in the spots on the west

side of the lot.

5. Be sure to attach you sticker to the driver’s side of the rear window or the back

side window on the driver’s side. Jeannie in the main office during the work week.

Meditation Garden

This quiet outside garden can be reached from the south entrance through the gate, or through the south door of the Nordmeyer Chapel.

Upkeep of the Grounds

Our weekly grounds upkeep throughout the growing season is done by St. John's parishioners whose efforts are ably coordinated by Ed Gillott.  We are always in need of more volunteers to make this job easier for everyone.  Please see St. John's Outdoor Work Days for more details
