Announcements for July 10

Fourth of July Ice Cream Social
A big thank you to everyone who participated in the Ice Cream Social by scooping ice cream, cutting watermelon, setting up tents and tables, arranging flowers, making and pouring lemonade and iced tea, serving ice cream, lemonade and iced tea, grilling hotdogs, selling food, overseeing the children’s table, helping the balloon ladies, greeting the community, attending, cleaning up, donating to the entertainment and most importantly praying for good weather. This event would not work as well if all of you didn’t support it. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Help Local School Kids Start School in the Fall
The Daughters of the King are once again coordinating the collection of school supplies for Respond Now. This year they are particularly requesting that we provide spiral notebooks, folders and backpacks. They will be assembling the backpacks early, so all donations must be in to St. John’s by Wednesday, July 20. Look for a collection box in the west foyer.

Volunteer to Help Pets
Can you spare an hour on Saturday, July 16th? We need your help to package pet food for Best Buddies Pet Pantry. Local community food pantries will distribute the packaged food to their clients who need a little extra help in order to keep and feed their pets. It can make the difference between keeping their canine or feline best buddies at home or having to surrender them to shelters. This is an easy ministry for all ages. Please help on the 16th at 10 AM in the education wing.

Wednesday Service: Morning Prayer
This Wednesday, July 13, the 9:00 AM service on Wednesday will be Morning Prayer. The Holy Eucharist will resume August 3.

Vegetable Abundance
This week: Fennel, cucumbers, zucchini.
