GREETINGS!
It is that time of year (ALREADY) again! The National Day of Prayer is coming up THURSDAY - MAY 1, 2014.
St. John's will, once again, host a community prayer service for that day. As in all the previous years, there will be a CONTINENTAL STYLE BREAKFAST in the church overflow area prior to the service.
So many of our church family have generously donated the breakfast items requested by our outreach board and that is one of the reasons it has been such a success and grown in attendance since we began hosting this great time of fellowship and prayer.
Please look for a sign up sheet in the narthex when you come to worship beginning this week PALM SUNDAY! MAUNDY THURSDAY, GOOD FRIDAY AND RESURRECTION SUNDAY! (He is risen indeed! Alleluia! - just love hearing that)
The sign up sheet will have the items needed (and the amounts of each item).
Please sign your name on the line provided next to each item you can donate - along with the amount of the items. Please note that each person does not have to provide all the items of each category. For EXAMPLE, if there are 3 dozen donuts noted, 3 people could actually each donate 1 dozen donuts. This makes it more affordable and allows more people to be involved in helping.
For maximum freshness (especially of perishables & non-refrigerated items), we request that items be brought to church on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2014 and put in the church basement kitchen. Please mark the donated items clearly: FOR NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER BREAKFAST. This helps because, with the breakfast beginning at 6:30 AM on Thursday, May 1st, we need to set up and get most things ready on Wednesday early evening.
We will also be posting updates as to items "spoken for" and what is "still needed" via Pastor K's email newsletter. The sign up sheet will be kept updated and in the narthex.
If you have ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, please CALL SANDY ROBINE at 636-456-4147 or to her email at snsrobine@centurytel.net
As in years past, you all have been so quick to respond and so generous with your donations, please sign up soon because that list fills up rapidly!
This is always a great time of fellowship and a wonderful way to meet your Christian neighbors in Warrenton. Even if you are not able to donate items, please mark your calendars and plan to attend breakfast and prayers. Most times folks stay after the prayer service for that 2nd cup of coffee and fellowship. It has been a blessing for me to help with this special day here in our community. Hope to see you all there!
God's peace on your day!
Sandy Robine
