Girl Scout Sunday— March 18

St. John’s sponsors two Girl Scout troops. The leaders and members will be serving our church for Girl Scout Sunday on March 11. Troop 21151, of which Elizabeth Ragan and Shadai Adams are members, recently completed the religious recognition with God and Family, a result that keeps God’s name in the organization’s named awards. As has become a tasty custom, cake will be served following worship. Please stop by and congratulate all the hard working Girl Scouts for focusing on God and his blessings upon us.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts of America. Juliette Gordon Low traveled to England and befriended Lord Baden Powell and his wife, Olave. The Scouting movement had begun there, and Daisy brought the movement back to Georgia. The uniforms have changed, the cookie flavors and prices have changed, but the goal of finding the leader in each girl has not changed. The goals of Girl Scouting are now easily recited – Discover, Connect, and Take Action.

Thank you to each member for your support financially and prayerfully as we lead young women into adulthood with a focus on service, leadership, and self-discovery.
