Announcements for December 11
- Help the Kids at Lawrence Hall
Since 2004 the Daughters of the King have been committed to sharing the spirit of Christmas with the children of Lawrence Hall. Lawrence Hall Youth Services provides greatly needed services and programs for kids and their families suffering from trauma, abuse and neglect. Gift cards from Target or Best Buy or checks made out to Lawrence Hall may provide the only gifts these children receive this year. If you can help, please contact Iris Bestow.
- Be a Part of the Children’s Christmas Pageant
Children of all ages are invited to be a part of the Christmas pageant at the 4:00 p.m. service on Christmas Eve. Families, please let Pastor Orr know as soon as possible whether or not you can participate in the pageant.
- Holiday Concert this Sunday, December 11
The Grande Prairie Singers present “A Winter Serenade” at 4:00 p.m., Sunday, December 11, at Faith United Protestant Church in Park Forest. Tickets are $20 at the door ($18) in advance, but they’re available from Betsy Burgwald for the special price of only $10 each.
- Taizé Recap
Approximately 70 people attended the Taizé service last Sunday (about half not parishioners of St. John’s). It was a spirit-filled gift of peace during the Advent season. Thanks to Peter Irvine, Janet Irvine, Steven Russell, Sue Buckman, the St. John’s choir, and Amy Pelletier (from IJP) for their contributions to the service.
