ICE
CREAM SOCIAL
July 4th is only three 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.
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!
Care
for Our Common Home: Interfaith Forest Clean-Up in Oak Forest
The SouthWest InterFaith Team (SWIFT) will be doing a
litter cleanup project at the Yankee Woods forest preserve in Oak Forest (just
north of Central Avenue and 167th Street) on Sunday, July
8. The clean-up will be from 2:00pm to 4:00pm with ice cream afterwards.
Gloves, sticks, bags, and water will be provided. This is a great opportunity
if you need community service hours for school as well as a great opportunity
to work and talk with people of different faiths. Contact Bryan Burke by July
4 to sign-up.
