ANOTHER LONGTIME MEMBER OF ST. JOHN’S MEMORY!
“I was raised in a Christian home and St. John’s United Church of Christ through Sunday School and into Junior Choir by director Walt Johnson and Sunday School teacher Mrs. Gloye. I also sang solos, was involved in Youth Fellowship, was trained for teaching Sunday School, was married at St. John’s, and was choir director. I also took part in church-supported Mission trips to Tegucigalpa, Honduras (rebuilding a church destroyed by Hurricane Mitch), and went to the Holy Land (Jerusalem) and sang in the production of “David, a Man After God’s Own Heart” atop David’s tower. I also traveled with others at St. John’s to areas along the Ohio River that were damaged in a flood, another work mission of rebuilding, and was involved in many other assorted church area projects common to St. John’s. All of the above have made by faith journey continual throughout my life.” –– Dolores Van Ulzen
REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR BRUCE
Please pray for our interim Pastor, Minister Bruce Carr, as he is in the Amazon region for two weeks to spread the Gospel of Jesus to our southern neighbors. Please pray for his safety and God’s guiding hand upon him as he seeks to follow the Lord’s lead in spreading the Word of God. He will return to us for the June 21st service. Thank you, Pastor Jim King, for your service to us last Sunday and today!

JUNE GUILD MEETING
The Women’s Guild will meet this Wednesday, June 17th at 1:00 pm in the Youth Lounge. Our program this month is “Learning to Crochet.” For many, this will be a delayed refresher course as we did it many years ago and need to update our skill! The purpose of this is to make children’s scarves for our next project of providing winter items for local children. Yarn will be provided, but if you have any crochet hooks, bring them. If not, we will have some for you. Any questions can be directed to Karen or Meredith. We hope you put this on your calendar!
