“NEW EDITION” FELLOWSHIP GROUP
We are pleased to announce that the Kaufmans and Keeleys have formed a fellowship group here at St. John’s for young adults or those “young at heart.” We are called “New Edition” and our goal is to have like-minded people gather socially and get to know and support one another, with an overall mission to be of service to St. John’s in any way needed. Our first get-together is being planned and if you would like to be a part of this “breath of fresh air,” please contact Jennifer Keeley at (219) 363-5469 or email musicjenkeeley@yahoo.com for details! We invite those who are willing to say “Yes!” when St. John’s Church needs you!
BRIDGE TEAM UPDATE
On July 6th our Bridge Team chairperson, Jennifer Keeley, will talk to the congregation during service about what we have been working on. At our last meeting, we prepared an anonymous survey that will go out to all active and inactive members or friends of St. John’s. You may pick up your envelope on July 6th after service or it will be mailed out for those not present. We ask that you return it by July 20th. Also, during the month of July, after each of the four Sunday services, the Bridge Team members will be in the parlor from 11:00 – 11:30 to meet with anyone who wishes to discuss their concerns or share thoughts about the search for our new pastor. Between the survey and these Sunday discussions, we want your voice to be heard and noted! Finally, Joe Tanski, our Bridge Team prayer leader, and the Women’s Guild have joined together to form a powerful prayer group which will meet at 9:45 in the chapel every Sunday morning. We want YOU to join us! Our congregation and everyone involved in the transition/search process needs your prayers. See you there next Sunday!
