Announcements for February 3rd


Yarn Ministry—Meeting Monday, February 4th at 7:00 PM in the Guild room.

Respond Now Needs Men’s Gloves!
Respond Now is asking for St. John’s help in collecting men’s gloves for this winter season. Any winter articles would be appreciated (hats, scarves, gloves, coats), but they have completely run out of men’s gloves to give out. Donations can be placed in the boxes at the top of the stairs to the undercroft.

18th Annual Episcopal Men’s Pre-Lenten Retreat – Letting Faith Find You
The Annual Retreat will take place from Friday, February 8th – Saturday, February 9th at the Dekoven Center (600 21st Street, Racine, Wisconsin). The Rev. Christopher Powell has agreed to serve as the Retreat Leader, where attendees will have opportunities to participate in small- and large-group discussions on important issues, as well as share fellowship with other men in worship. Flyers with additional information and registration forms will be available in the undercroft. Do not wait to register! Available spots are on a “first come, first registered” basis, and the registration post mark date will be used to determine if room is available.
  
Adult Server Training
There will be a training/refresher for Greeters and Ushers on Saturday, February 2nd  from 9:00-11:00 am. This is a combined training as both ministries work together at the beginning of the service. Please plan on attending and notify Pat Smith-Huntoon if you are unable to attend and need to set up an alternative time. Additionally, there will be training for Lectors immediately following at 11:00 am. Contact Bill Moser for more information.

TV Needed
The new Resource Room needs a 55-to-65-inch flat-screen television that can be mounted on the wall. It should have the capacity to connect to a laptop in order to run videos and Power Point presentations. Do you have such a TV in good condition that you can donate, or are you interested in donating a new one? If so, please contact Fr. Jeremy.

St. John’s Table – Sunday, February 10th and 24th at 5:00 p.m.
The early church worshipped around the table, around a meal that we have ritualized into the modern mass. Join us as we reclaim an ancient form of worship, as we gather around the table and together seek the spirit’s movement in our own time and in our own community. Come to the Table!

Newcomer’s Reception – Friday, February 16th at the Rectory, 5:00 p.m.
