****************************

St. John's members will be helping
the Salvation Army again this year.
We will be "ringing the bell" for
collections at Save-A-Lot from
Monday, December 29 through
Sunday, January 4.

A schedule for volunteers will be posted
on the bulletin board in the Sunday School
gathering room.
This is a great cause for a wonderful
Christian organization and we need
your help in making St. John's
volunteer effort a success as it has
been in previous years.
If you have any questions, please
contact Ruth Williams,
St. John's chairman for this year's
fund drive.

 

 

Bonnie Semenak will be
collecting money for
Homewood Auxiliary  Members
in October & November.

Featured Poem

A Thanksgiving Day Prayer

Lord, so often times, as any other day
When we sit down to our meal and pray

We hurry along and make fast the blessing
Thanks, amen. Now please pass the dressing

We're slaves to the olfactory overload
We must rush our prayer before the food gets cold

But Lord, I'd like to take a few minute more
To really give thanks to what I'm thankful for

For my family, my health, a nice soft bed
My friends, my freedom, a roof over my head

I'm thankful right now to be surrounded by those
Whose lives touch me more than they'll ever possibly know

Thankful Lord, that You've blessed me beyond measure
Thankful that in my heart lives life's greatest treasure

That You, dear Jesus, reside in that place
And I'm ever so grateful for Your unending grace

So please, heavenly Father, bless this food You've provided
And bless each and every person invited

Amen!

--Scott Wesemann

Need A Ride?  

Are you a member who would like to attend Sunday School or Church?

St. John's Consistory is trying to determine if we have members who would like to attend, but do not have a way to get to the church.  If we find such a need exists, there will be a committee formed to try to provide transportation.  We need to hear from you to know how to proceed.


It is time to begin construction on the
2008 Habitat For Humanity
house for this year's partner family.
Construction began on
Saturday, August 2, and
will continue every Saturday.
As in the past, we are looking for
volunteers to help support this
wonderful community service.
For more information
please contact the office at
814-624-3443

We will be collecting boxes through
