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.
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!
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.
SWIFT
INTERFAITH PICNIC JULY 29TH
The SouthWest InterFaith Team (SWIFT) will be
hosting its annual summer picnic from 1pm to 5 pm, July 29 on the church
grounds of Peace Memorial United Church of Christ (10300 W 131st
St, Palos Park). There is no charge, but bring a side dish if you can.
There will be lots of food, a clown, a bouncy house, a piñata, games for the
kids, and lots of great conversation with our Jewish, Muslim, and Christian
neighbors. If you are interested in attending, please speak to Rob McManamy or
Bryan Burke by July 17th so we can get a rough headcount.
