St. John started a program called "Bountiful Blessings" on 2/10/10. The goal is to give hope to families and senior citizens by providing non-food items such as laundry detergent, shampoo, and toothbrushes. (Terry Orendi began this "Christian-based charity" in 2001. St. John is the 12th church to participate in this outreach effort).
Terry said, "Each recipient is required to give back volunteer hours for receiving items. God instructs us to work so we may eat. So cheerfully, each recipient colunteers their time as a thank-you for what God has given them: A safe, positive, Christ-centered environment offering items to fulfill their need." Terry and the Bountiful Blessings organization will provide training, initial supplies, and ongoing support. St. John will provide space in one of the downstairs classrooms for 3 shelves to hold the non-food items, and 4 volunteers to run the program.
Each month, we are open on the 2nd Wednesday from 2-4pm, and on the 4th Wednesday from 5-7pm. Please keep this program in your prayers. With God's help, this is something we can do. For further information, please talk to Pastor Sue. You can also check the website http://www.bountifulblessingsinc.org/.

Adult and Children's Choirs
Amy C Kraft is delighted with our newly formed Children's Choir, who recently debuted with "Jesus Loves Me" and is enthusiastic about upcoming singing opportunities. If you have children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews who would like to join us in making a joyful noise, please let her know. Rehearsals will take place either before or after Sunday worship services. As always, we also have room in the Adult Choir for more voices. If you have sung in choirs before (or if you haven't and always wanted to), we are saving a seat for you! We rehearse on Thursday evenings and would love to have you join us.
