St. John's Sunday Weekly Reminders, May 24
Pentecost Sunday, May 31: Wear red - to discover why, read Acts 2:1-4.
Blood Drive, June 7: Please come and share the gift of life in Building One, 8 am – 12:30 pm. Make sure you get some iron in your diet.
St. John's Breakfast - Saturday, June 6, 8:00 am: Pot luck breakfast - bring your favorite dish, and at 8:30 Kathy Roth will be our speaker, talking about mental health/mental retardation. We all need updates on a subject that probably affects almost all of us. Come for breakfast and relax! Remember, there are no breakfasts in July and August.
Name Tag Sunday, June 7: Please stop by the table under the walkway and fill out a name tag to wear during worship and our first brunch. Name tags have the power to “introduce” you to someone you don’t know.
Presbyterian Planning Calendar: The office will order the 2009-2010 calendars this week. Please call the office if you want to order one. Cost is $8.00 each.
Summer Brunches: St. John’s summer tradition begins on June 7 with the Congregational Life/Fellowship Ministry Team serving brunch in McPhail Hall following worship. Everyone is invited to enjoy this wonderful time of fellowship.
Scholarship Application Deadline, June 15: The Myrtis McPhail Scholarship Fund provides a scholarship grant to any active St. John’s member. Applications can be picked up in the church office.
