Announcement for July 17

Supply Clergy
The Rev. Stacy Alan, Chaplain at Brent House, the Episcopal chaplaincy at the University of Chicago, will be at St. John’s this Sunday.

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 this 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.
