• Looking Ahead: Fourth of July Ice Cream Social
  Every year individuals and families from the broader Flossmoor community attend St. John’s Fourth of July ice cream social. We always offer special entertainment for kids. This year, the highly popular balloon twisters will be back again with their wonderful creations. We seek donations from parishioners to help defray the costs of providing this entertainment. Look for red, white and blue donation envelopes around the church. You may place your donation in the offering plate or drop it off at the parish office.
   
• Pot Luck Brunch with Julians
  The Julian year, part of the Episcopal Service Corps, offers young adults the time and the space to live by faith and work for justice in the city of Chicago. Participants in the Julian year, “Julians,” work four days each week in community service or advocacy organizations. They spend one day per week developing the leadership skills, spiritual depth, and supportive relationships that help form them into courageous and compassionate agents of change. For the last several years, St. John’s ECW has offered financial support to the Julian Year program. This Wednesday, June 20, several Julians will join the ECW for a pot luck lunch, beginning at 11:30 a.m. in the undercroft. Anyone in the parish who is interested is invited to attend. If you can, please bring a dish to share.
