St. John’s members are reaching out into the world and sharing God’s love this summer. Our youth will travel to Houma, Louisiana, July 12-18, with the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) to help repair hurricane damage. Kathie Hartzog will travel to Uganda, working at the Lluwanda Children’s Homes and Léonie Tchoconté and John Freeman will travel to Haiti with Solar Under the Son. Books are being collected by Kay Greer, a participant in the Mustard Seed Project. St. John’s is also introducing a new outreach mission, Mirembe Kawomera. You can also participate in a mission project in Houston with the Presbytery of New Covenant on Saturday, August 1.
THE VISION: To blanket every community in our presbytery with acts of service and compassion by involving every one of our congregations in adopting a project.
As part of this Day of Service for Houston, St. John’s Mission Ministry Team has scheduled a work day at Shearn Elementary School, 9802 Stella Link, only 2 miles away from St. John’s. Mark your calendars for August 1, 8 am – 3 pm. We will organize the teachers’ workroom, catalog books in the library and cover hallway and classroom bulletin boards. If you have any questions, call Kathie, 713-283-0098.
