“FOR THE CHILDREN”  ~ THIS IS OUR FINAL WEEK TO COLLECT ~

Thank you, St. John’s friends and members, for funding 17 children’s coats, hats, gloves plus some diapers and shirts so far. 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.  

A very special “thank you!!” also goes out to Alyce Knouse, who generously donated over 12 hand-knit hats and scarves!

Thank you from the Women’s Guild!

YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN OUR BIBLE STUDY GROUP!

All members and friends are invited to join in our Bible Study group which meets each Wednesday morning at 9:30 a.m. We are just starting a new booklet in the Bible Study for Life series. Each session is a different topic so it’s easy to join in at any time. If you have questions, please talk to some of our members –– Ernie Dingler, Dolores Van Ulzen, or Karen Lawrenz. We have chairs and booklets waiting for you!

COFFEE HOUR—BEFORE THE 10 A.M. SERVICE—YOUR HELP NEEDED!

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. There is a sign-up sheet on the main bulletin board if you would like to help. Please sign up and lend your helping hand to this welcoming St. John’s ministry! If you have any questions, please speak with Kim Russell, Don Briggs, or Devin Glanz.

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.

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 is again 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 24th, 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 main bulletin board, or you may talk with Carla Zancha, (630) 479–3992, or Kimberlee Russell, (219) 809–3770.
