NEXT SUNDAY IS THE LAST OPPORTUNITY to supportChristian education at St. John and Holy Ghost Lutheran Schools with your monthly mission envelopes. Thank you for your generous donations so far.
CHOIR REHEARSALS will resume this Wednesday in the chapel at 7 PM. We hope to sing at next Sunday’s Reformation service, so please do your best to attend rehearsal this week. New members are needed. The only requirement to be a choir member is a desire to sing praises to our Lord. If you have questions, please see Maye Smith or Ross Folmsbee.
IT’S NOT TOO LATE to volunteer for TRUNK OR TREAT, scheduled to be held THIS SATURDAY, October 30, from 3 – 4:30 PM. A sign up sheetis available on the glass case in the chapel. Please spread the word to your family and friends about this fun, safe family event.
HARVEST FOOD COLLECTION: We have tables set up in the chapel and narthex to receive donations of non-perishable food items. Your gifts will be used by St. Vincent de Paul food pantry on Military Road to restock after their Thanksgiving distribution to those in need. Although all donations are appreciated, supply chain issues have created a particular need for canned vegetables (especially corn), canned soups, tuna, and Ramen noodles. Our neighbors in need will appreciate your kindness. (Please be sure your donations do not expire before December 2021.)
TURKEYS & HAMS are needed by local soup kitchens for the upcoming holiday dinners they will provide. Donations can be stored in the downstairs kitchen freezer. Please ask an usher for assistance to carry your donation if needed. Last year we donated 27 turkeys and hams, and ALL of them were used by the agencies we partner with.
BEYOND THE SURFACE: Christian education Wednesday, October 27th at 10:00am. We will be looking at the following verses: Revelation 14: 6-7, Romans 3: 19-28 and John 8: 31-36.
