Announcements for May 29

Seeking Information on Graduates: Last Call
Are you, or someone in your family, graduating this spring? As we do each year, we would like to celebrate graduates (at all levels). Please call (708.798.4150) or email (office@stjohnsflossmoor.org) the parish office with the information. You may also drop a note in the offering plate on Sunday. Please keep the announcements as brief as possible, but feel free to include information on majors, special honors and future plans, if known. The deadline for submitting information is June 1.

Parish Office Closed Monday
The parish office will be closed Monday, May 30, in observance of Memorial Day.

Vestry News
At the May 16th meeting of the vestry, we discussed our “Godparent” project. Each vestry member is the godparent for a ministry in the parish. Godparents don’t necessarily become members, but keep up on what is happening, pray and show concern for that ministry, and tell other people in the parish about it. We also discussed ongoing plans for expanding the columbarium and improving the sidewalk and landscaping by the outdoor altar. Since there are currently funds to cover this project, it should start in late summer.

Help Out with Best Buddies Pet Pantry
Can you spare an hour on Saturday, June 4th, to weigh and package dry cat food for the Best Buddies Pet Pantry? We’ll meet at 10:00 AM in the adult education classroom, and if we get lots of helping hands, we should be done in no time. Please let Susan Marquis know if you can be there, and bring along friends if you can. Last minute helpers are appreciated, too!

Sunday School on Vacation
Sunday school classes for children and adults are on vacation for the summer. Thanks to all who participated, especially the teachers of the children’s and youth classes: Diane Walsh-Madden, Patti Pohrte and Cyndie Knoll.
