This coming Sunday, June 21, is not only Father's Day, but it is an eventful day in the life of our church. We are doing a couple of special things, & we don't want anyone to miss it!
1. Food Donations
We're collecting food for those in need, to be donated to & distributed by the New LIFE Center in Uniondale, the food pantry we support year-round. Donations tend to go down in the summer, but the need remains the same, so we're asking everyone to bring in some non-perishable food to help get them through the summer. We'll have it brought forward during the offering. Last year we collected about 430 pounds - let's top that this year!!
2. Sunday School - Moving Up Day!
The Sunday School kids & their teachers have worked hard this past academic year, so today we'll celebrate their accomplishments & rejoice in their growth! Two of our children will also get a medal for memorizing The Lord's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed, and the 10 Commandments by heart. Way to go kids!
3. Volunteer Recognition Day & Coffee Hour
We have so many people who work in so many different ways to further the mission & ministries of this church. Time rushes by, and we don't remember to say thank you nearly often enough. On this day during worship, we will recognize & give thanks for the many people who give of themselves and the many different ways that they serve God and St. John's. We'll continue the celebration after worship with a coffee hour.
It's going to be a great day of worship - you don't want to miss it! So come on out! Worship starts at 9:30!
