Announcements for June 29

Blue Jean Sunday – This Sunday
Please wear your gardening clothes, bring a rake or clippers, and stay after church this Sunday, June 29, to help with landscape work. Everything is growing well and we would like the grounds to look their best for the July 4th Ice Cream Social.

The Fourth of July Ice Cream Social
St. John’s Old Time Community Fourth of July Ice Cream Social begins after the Flossmoor Children’s Parade, Friday, July 4. The parade begins at 10:00 a.m.; we begin serving around 10:15 a.m. Our clowns, Skiddles and Strawberry will be twisting balloons into all sorts of fun shapes. Come enjoy free ice cream and cool drinks. Hot dogs and cookies are available for purchase. (Financial contributions to help underwrite the event are still welcome.)

“Like” St. John’s on Facebook
If you use Facebook, have you “liked” St. John’s? Search for St. John the Evangelist, Flossmoor. Photos of recent events (like the Ice Cream Social) are typically posted right after the event. There are also event reminders and other posts about parish activities. For example: A recent post and photo highlighted the newly replaced carriage lights along the sidewalk. Another one showed the altar guild burning this year’s palms to be used for ashes on Ash Wednesday. The newest photo album shows the food garden being built and planted. And remember, when you “like” or “share” St. John’s posts, you are spreading the word about the life of the parish. Evangelism couldn’t be easier!
