OUTREACH COMMITTEE’S NEEDS

for February

The Outreach Action Group is collecting the following items to donate to H.E.L.P.:  Socks and peanut butter.

In March, they will collect small bags of rice and dried beans.  Thank you for your support!.  Items can be placed on and under the table in the Parish Hall.  Thank you for your help.

St. John’s Church is the people who worship here, pray here, learn here, and serve here. There is one more ingredient which underlies it all -- God as revealed in Jesus Christ and experienced by the presence of the Holy Spirit.  It is God who makes us one body and empowers us to be more than we could ever be by ourselves.

The people who are St. John’s change from generation to generation, but one thing never changes: this is a place where God’s people open themselves to His solace and strength, His pardon and renewal.

Come, join us!
