Ice Cream Social
We’re gearing up for the St. John’s Annual Community Ice Cream Social scheduled for Thursday, July 4th. Our entertainment this year will be fascinating Story Telling by Karen O’Donnell. We’ll have ice cream, cold drinks, hot dogs and brownies. All of this happens immediately following the 10 a.m. Flossmoor Children’s Parade and runs through about 12:30 p.m. Your participation is what makes this event a success. Are you able to bring in some wildflowers or flowers from your garden? Can you put up flyers around town? Can you help move tables and tents outside? Can you meet and greet our guests? Can you scoop ice cream or cut watermelon on July 3rd? Do you have a card table or two that we can borrow? How about (and this is for everyone) praying for glorious weather? Contact Gale Michael with offers to help and/or questions.

Parish Office Summer Hours
