Julie Crawford
Julie is an Associate of The Community of St John Baptist. She has been instrumental in working with collective partnerships and resources to see that the Garden of Hope at the Convent of St. John the Baptist in Mendham, has been renovated with three primary goals: increase yield of fresh vegetables, creation of a pollinator plot, and creation of sacred space for community use. Produce from the garden is provided to local and regional food pantries, Chester Area Senior Housing, and is used for meals at Homeless Solutions. As an extension, Good News Gardens are now established at Cross Roads and as an urban model at St Andrews and Holy Communion in South Orange.

John Pietrowski
John established Facebook live for our parish during COVID in 2020 so that our congregants could watch services from home. He has been at church assuring that this live broadcast is of good quality for all but a few Sundays since February 2020. John has also served as our treasurer for the last 4 years. He has modernized our whole accounting system and presents the budget every month at our vestry meeting and at our finance committee meetings. His knowledge of non-profit financial management is invaluable, and he has been pivotal in our ability to move forward with our collaboration with sharing clergy with St. Mary's, Sparta. The talent and time John shares with us at Messiah is immeasurable.
