St. John's Weekly Reminders, May 29

Sign Up Today! New usher teams are forming for June, July, August and September. Sign up for the first, second, third or fourth Sundays. Please speak to Connie Brown if you have questions.

Ghanaian Choir Fundraiser today at noon in McPhail Hall – At noon today you are invited to “Songs of Praise” in McPhail Hall. This fund raising ceremony will benefit the United Ghanaian Presbyterian Church as they raise money for their choir to travel to New York in September for a choral convention. As you may know, the United Ghanaian Church pays us rent to meet in our Scout Room for worship on Sundays and they recently donated an additional $100 to us in appreciation of their occasional use of McPhail Hall. Their goal is to be the premier Ghanaian choir in North America and they seek our support toward that goal.
