Lutheran World Relief – October 25, 2008 - Morning and Afternoon
It’s time again to help out at Lutheran World Relief in-gathering. St. John’s is a central spot for many Lutheran churches to bring their items to get sent to people in need all over the world.
We need families, individuals and groups to help in the morning or afternoon (or both)! Volunteers will help with a variety of tasks like unloading boxes from vehicles as they arrive, stacking boxes, loading boxes into the semi-trailer, and arranging the boxes inside the trailer.
Yes – lots of boxes!
There will be plenty of free food and drink for breakfast and lunch.
Contact Rob if you, your family or or Thrive group would like to help.
Pr. Elyse will be leading a unique acolyte training event for all 6th graders (and any interested 7th or 8th graders). The event will take place on Sunday, October 19 at 11:30am in the Nave/Sanctuary.
Once you have completed the training you’ll be helping lead the 10:15am traditional service (we’ll assign you throughout the year) by helping with communion, lighting and extinguishing the candles and MORE!
Come be a part of this awesome service ministry!!!
Email Pr. Elyse for more information or to register.

Come hear the story about all the plans that will be coming to St. John’s and how they will especially expand and enhance our ministries for children and youth.
