Announcements for April 23

Recycle Plastic Easter Eggs
If you have now empty plastic Easter eggs left over from St. John’s Easter egg hunt or others, you may bring them to St. John’s to be used next year. Look for the lilac colored collection box near the parish office.

New Usher “Pins”
Steve and Mary Hofer have recently donated a set of St. John the Evangelist usher “pins” (that attach  magnetically) to be worn by ushers at worship services. They are given in memory of Dick Keller, 8:00 AM usher extraordinaire.

Sunday School Classes Resume
Sunday School classes for all ages resume this Sunday, April 23, after the Easter break.

Easter Flowers
Thank you to everyone who so generously contributed to the Easter flowers in the church this year. A list of contributors is included with this Sunday’s worship leaflet.

Practicing Our Faith Book Club
In May the Practicing Our Faith Book Club will be reading Truth Speaks to Power: The Counterculture Nature of Scripture by Walter Brueggemann, which "invites readers to take a closer look at the subversive messages found within the Old Testament." Read the book, and then join us on Thursday, May 18 at 7pm in the Guild Room for the discussion. New members are always welcome.

Yarn Ministry
The knitting and crocheting group will meet Monday, May 1st at 7:00 PM in the Guild Room. This is the last meeting, until we start up again in the fall.
