Announcements for June 5
- Parish Picnic: This Sunday, June 5
The annual parish picnic will follow the 10:00 a.m. service this Sunday, June 5. Weather permitting, we will gather on the south lawn. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided. Please bring a dessert or side dish to share. Come join in fellowship and officially kick off summer!
- From Donica Van Voorhees
I would like to thank the parish for the wonderful celebration of my ministry as Director of Christian Formation at St. John's last Sunday. I love the collection of books and especially, the cookie jar created by the children. Thank you all!
- Wear Red Next Sunday
Next Sunday is Pentecost. The liturgical color is red, a reference to the tongues “as of fire” that lighted upon the disciples. There is an informal custom in the church for everyone to wear red on the Sunday of Pentecost.
- Bishop’s Visit June 19
Bishop Scantlebury will visit St. John’s on Sunday June 19. He will celebrate, preach and confirm at the 10:00 service. Please plan to attend.
- Children’s Chapel is on Vacation
Children’s Chapel is on vacation for the summer. Children of all ages are encouraged to worship with their families during the 10:00 service.
- Looking Ahead: Fourth of July Ice Cream Social
St. John’s ice cream social is a wonderful part of the Fourth of July tradition in Flossmoor. Can you contribute time to help set up, host, or clean up for the event or money to help cover costs? Contact Gale Michael to volunteer. Look for donation envelopes around the church.
