Parish
Picnic
This year, our annual Picnic & Garden Planting,
which will include a celebration of our Confirmands, will take place after the
10:00 a.m. service on Sunday, June 3rd. Everyone is invited for food
and refreshments, socialization, and to take part in planting the parish
garden. Everything grown in the garden will be donated to Rich Township’s Food
Pantry.
ICE
CREAM SOCIAL
We’re gearing up for the St. John’s Annual Community
Ice Cream Social scheduled for Wednesday, July 4th. Twistina and Strawberri
will entertain us by twisting balloons into amazing animals, hats, and other
shapes. We’ll have ice cream, cold drinks, hot dogs and cookies. All this
happens immediately following the 10 a.m. Flossmoor Children’s Parade and runs
through about noon. Your participation is what makes this event a success. Are
you able to bring in some wildflowers or flowers from your garden? Can you put
up flyers around town? Can you help move tables and tents outside? Can you meet
and greet our guests? Can you scoop ice cream or cut watermelon on July 3rd? Do
you have a card table or two that we can borrow? How about (and this is for
everyone) praying for glorious weather? Contact Gale Michael with offers to
help and/or questions.
RUMMAGE
SALE
We’re planning an all-parish rummage sale for
Saturday, July 21. We’ll begin collecting clean, useful items of all sorts July
8. The proceeds will be used for the Rectory update, and we hope to use the
sale as an outreach to all members of the community. Everything will be priced
to sell, and the leftovers will go to Restoration Ministries in Harvey. If you
have questions, please contact Bill Moser. We
hope the entire parish will support this effort. Thanks!
