BLESSING BAG UPDATE
Thank you to those who have donated money or items for the Guild Blessing Bags. While we can still use all the items originally listed like deodorant, toothpaste, and washcloths… we could really use men’s or women’s socks, lip balm, bars of soap, and toothbrushes. Thank you again for supporting this community charity with us!
ST. JOHN’S CHURCH PICNIC
Keep the later part of August open for our St. John’s family church picnic! Fun & games for all, even a contest for a warm summer day. Watch the New Notes for the date and more information to come!
FOOD BANK
You may notice the corner as you approach the Narthex. It is next to the coat rack and titled “Food Bank.” The area has a few different size containers. 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. We hope you are able to help us feed our neighbors. Thank you for your support!
