Annual
Meeting—Sunday, January 20th following the 10:00
a.m. service.
Fundraising
Coupon Booklets
The Vestry is supporting a new easy and fun product
to sell as a fundraising campaign for St. John’s. We are selling fundraising
coupon books for $20.00 from a company called Simple Qpons. The books allow
individuals to save money with things like buy-one-get-one-free and 50% off
discounts at tons of our favorite local merchants. There are two editions of
the book: one for Northwest Indiana and one for Southland Chicago. You can
contact Vestry members or the church office to either purchase books yourself OR to help in selling books for this
fundraiser.
Painting
with Friends
You don’t have to be able to draw a straight line
because we won’t ask you to. Mark your calendars to join St. John’s Paint Party
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, January 27 in the Undercroft. Shirley Reilly and
Bill Moser will guide you through the steps to create your own painting. The
class size is limited, and reservation deadline is Jan. 20. The cost is $40,
and all materials will be supplied. Call Gale Michael, Shirley
Reilly, or Bill Moser.
Adult
Server Training
There will be a training/refresher for Greeters and
Ushers on Saturday, February 2nd
from 9:00-11:00 am. This is a combined training as both ministries work
together at the beginning of the service. Please plan on attending and notify
Pat Smith-Huntoon if you are unable to attend and need to set
up an alternative time. Additionally, there will be training for Lectors
immediately following at 11:00 am. Contact Bill Moser for
more information.
18th
Annual Episcopal Men’s Pre-Lenten Retreat – Letting
Faith Find You
The Annual Retreat will take place from Friday,
February 8th – Saturday, February 9th at the Dekoven
Center (600 21st Street, Racine, Wisconsin). The Rev. Christopher
Powell has agreed to serve as the Retreat Leader, where attendees will have
opportunities to participate in small- and large-group discussions on important
issues, as well as share fellowship with other men in worship. Flyers with
additional information and registration forms will be available in the
undercroft. Do not wait to register! Available spots are on a “first come,
first registered” basis, and the registration post mark date will be used to
determine if room is available.
TV
Needed
The new Resource Room needs a 55-to-65-inch
flat-screen television that can be mounted on the wall. It should have the
capacity to connect to a laptop in order to run videos and Power Point
presentations. Do you have such a TV in good condition that you can donate, or
are you interested in donating a new one? If so, please contact Fr. Jeremy.
