PASTOR BILL – EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE RECEIVED
Pastor Bill and Sarah sent the family of St. John’s a letter of gratitude for all your blessings of support as they began their new chapter of life. The letter and card are on the bulletin board outside the office. Please stop by and read their update and notes of thanks!
COFFEE HOUR – IN NARTHEX BEFORE THE 10 AM SERVICE
Please join us in the narthex before the 10:00 a.m. Sunday service for Coffee Hour. Coffee and pastries will be available, together with good fellowship. Plan to enjoy some delightful treats and good conversation before we worship together!
PEANUT BRITTLE, ANYONE?
Join our Guild project by making peanut brittle, selling peanut brittle, or simply buying and enjoying it for yourself! All together we can contribute to agencies in our community which serve others. We can make a difference right here in Michigan City! St. John’s will begin offering its famous peanut brittle at $10.50/lb. and just in time for Thanksgiving!
We will be accepting orders for our work dates of Mondays, November 10th & 17th, and Mondays, December 8th and 15th. Orders can be placed in the church office. Tell your family & friends all profits from the sale will be donated to community agencies or to St. John’s projects. If you would like to be a part of our team, a sign-up sheet is posted on the bulletin board outside the office, or you may talk with Kimberlee Russell.
THANKS FOR A GREAT START!
Thank you, St. John’s friends and members, for funding 15 children’s coats, hats, gloves plus some diapers and shirts so far! Our “FOR THE CHILDREN’ project is still seeking donations –no donation or financial contribution is too small. We do know that the Salvation Army is expecting even more requests for help this year for their Christmas giveaway for families, and we want to help as much as possible. We are asking you to help us to help them so children in our town are treated well at Christmas. Thank you from the Women’s Guild!
2026 GREETERS NEEDED
We need YOUR presence and your smiling face to help make our Sunday visitors feel welcome! Please add your name to the list of Greeters on the bulletin board so that we can keep the wonderful tradition of Sunday Greeters alive at St. John’s. We need members to become a part of this mission of extending a warm welcome to all who come to worship. All that is needed is a smiling face and a friendly Hello!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO READ THE SUNDAY CHILDREN’S MESSAGE
Volunteers are needed to read a short story for the children in attendance on Sunday mornings. Please contact Kim Russell (219) 809-3770 for more information, or you may sign up on the bulletin board outside the office.
