Announcements for June 10

• Thank You to Vestry Members
  Thank you to members of the vestry for taking time away from families and other activities to participate in the vestry retreat last Saturday. It was an interesting and informative event, facilitated by the Rev. Jim Steen, Director of Ministries on the Bishop’s staff at the Diocese of Chicago.
   
• Looking Ahead: Fourth of July Ice Cream Social
  July 4 is only 31⁄2 weeks away. St. John’s ice cream social is our gift to the people, young and old, of Flossmoor. Financial contributions are needed to help cover the cost of the children’s entertainment. And many volunteers are needed to run the event. Contact Gale Michael to volunteer. Look for the red, white and blue donation envelopes around the church.
   
• Don’t Forget Pets in Need
  Some pets are abandoned or turned into shelters every summer simply because they cannot be accommodated on the family vacation. The Little Hands Donation box for the South Suburban Humane Society is still available. Donations are sought of dog or cat food, kitty litter (non-clumping), old blankets or towels, bleach, or dog and cat toys.
