THE GUILD SUMMER COMMUNITY PROJECT – THE BLESSING BAG PROJECT
It’s time again for our Blessing Bag Project! This project is directed toward the unhoused neighbors in our city where the essentials we all depend on may be a luxury to them. What is a blessing bag? It is a gallon-size plastic bag filled with these items: pair of socks, washcloth, bar of soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, wipes, and lotion. We are asking our St. John’s friends to join us in this project by donating an item or if you want us to shop for you, a financial donation is appreciated. A collection box for donated items will be in the entryway of our church. Thank you for considering to help.
ANY 1997 DIRECTORIES?
Our historian, Jean Squires, is in need of 1997 St. John’s Directories (with names and photos). If you have a copy that you would like to donate, please bring it to the office and we will get them to Jean. Thank you very much!
