College
Care Packages
St.
John’s Outreach Ministry is sending college freshmen surprise care packages
this fall. We’re asking everyone to bring something to contribute to the now 6
young people we’re collecting for. Keep it simple (gum, pencils, Post-it
notes)…use your imagination. Stumped? See, text or call Mike Madden or Dee McManamy for suggestions or if you, too,
know a college freshman who would like a fun surprise. Boxes will be in the
undercroft during coffee hour for the next several Sundays. Remember: Notes of
encouragement are always a welcomed addition!
United Thank
Offering – IT’S EASY!
Notice
the good things that happen each day? Give thanks to God for your Blessings and
make an offering for each Blessing. Every penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and
dollar offered in thanks through the United
Thank Offering (UTO) is given to God’s mission in the world. Every coin and bill transforms Lives in the
United States and around the world. Turn your gratitude for your blessings into
blessings for others.
Christmas Basket
Program
St.
John’s is once again participating in the ReVive Center for Housing and
Healing’s Christmas Basket Program. We are asking parishioners and church
organizations to please volunteer and sponsor a family to provide them with a
merry and memorable Christmas. Sign-up sheets will be available shortly, so
please start thinking about your individual or your organization’s
participation in this worthy project. This year’s deadline for dropping off the
Christmas Baskets at St. John’s will be no later than Wednesday, November 29,
2017.
Respond Now
The
Daughters of the King are collecting personal items for the men and women that
receive assistance through Respond Now. Suggestions are: soap, shampoo, body
lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors, deodorant, etc. Both full-size and
travel-size are needed.
