Announcements for June 18

Intercessory Prayer
Anyone who has a prayer request next week, please call the church office. Betsy Sloan will be in the office on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, or contact Betsy Elliot who will activate the prayer chain.

Wednesday Bible Study Class
St. John's Wednesday bible study class is on hiatus for the summer, but we will be joining Holy Family's rector and parishioners for a study of Isaiah on Tuesdays from 6:30 PM until approximately 8:00 PM at Holy Family in Park Forest. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Looking Ahead: Fourth of July Ice Cream Social
July 4th is only two weeks away. St. John’s Ice Cream Social is our gift to the people, young and old, of Flossmoor. Financial contributions are needed to help cover the cost of the children’s entertainment and many volunteers are needed to run the event. Contact Gale Michael to volunteer. Look for the red, white and blue donation envelopes around the church.

SWIFT Annual Picnic
South West Interfaith Team (SWIFT) will be hosting its annual picnic on Sunday, July 23rd at Peace Memorial Church, 10300 W 131st St, Palos Park from 1pm – 5pm. The picnic is only open to members of the 15 congregations that make up SWIFT (including St. John’s), but you are welcome to bring a friend or two if you would like. There will be hot dogs, hamburgers, and lots of other food as well as a bounce house, a piñata, and a clown. It should be lots of fun and a great opportunity to share fellowship with our Christian, Muslim, and Jewish neighbors. If you have any questions please ask or e-mail Rob McManamy or Bryan Burke.
