• Brunch Bunch next Sunday, March 7
  Let’s look forward to spring and share a meal together immediately following the 10:00 service next Sunday. The entrée will be provided. If you can, bring a dish to share (last name beginning with L-P, a dessert; everyone else a side dish). But most importantly, bring yourself.

• Donate Your Extra Mugs
  If you have extra coffee/tea mugs that you are not using, please donate them to St. John’s. All standard size, durable and washable mugs are welcome. Just leave them on the kitchen counter. As an eco-friendly move, we are now using them at Sunday coffee hour.
  
  
• Yarn Ministry
  Yarn Ministry is open to all parish members and friends. We meet the first Monday of every month at 7 PM in the Guild Room at the church. If you are unable to attend the gatherings the first Monday of the month, we would welcome items you create at home. Our handy work is donated to a number of charities. All levels of experience are welcome. If you would like to learn to knit, Sue O’Brien is willing to instruct. Yarn Ministry is not limited to just knitters, crocheters are also welcome. Please contact Sue O’Brien if you are interested in joining the Yarn Ministry group.
