FOOD BANK
You may notice the corner as you approach the Narthex. It is next to the coat rack and titled Food Bank. The goal is to donate food items such as:
- soups
- canned chicken
- canned vegetables
- peanut butter
- canned tuna-fish
- noodles
- spaghetti sauce
One of our church members has volunteered to deliver these groceries to the Salvation Army at the end of each month. The Salvation Army then hands out these groceries to those in need. Thank you very much for your support!
WOMEN’S GUILD
The Women’s Guild will meet August 19 at 1:00 p.m. in the Preschool rooms for a St. John’s service project––cleaning the toys and furniture (all supplies provided). School will begin soon so we can do our part to help Amy and her helpers prepare for a new school year. Our business meeting and refreshments will follow the clean-up. All women and friends of St. John’s are invited.
