Festive Sunday Parish Potluck - March 7th.
Yes, that’s right fun and formation in Lent! Come and enjoy
the fun, food and fellowship on Sunday, March 7th as
we explore some of the meaning Lent can be for our lives. In addition to worship, the day will be marked with a parish
potluck, fellowship and an intergenerational activity for
the season with fun for all ages! St. John’s will supply the
main dish and we invite you / your family to bring either a
side item (members with last names beginning with A-L),
or a dessert item dish to pass (last names beginning with M
-Z). Fun for all, it would not be the same without you!
Lenten Fish Supper - March 19th.
Mark your calendars for this wonderful Lenten tradition! March
19th at 6:00pm treat your friends and family to a Salmon Bake as
only St. John’s can do it! The Rev. Darren Elin will be serving up
some of his famous Salmon along with delicious sides and desserts.
Tickets will be on sale after each Sunday service or by calling the
parish office at 793-9575 at a cost of $10.00/adult and $5.00/
child.
Special Lenten Innovo Service - March 21st.
Back by popular demand as a special Lenten service, Innovo provides a calm
and meditative outlet for the season. Please join us March 21st at 7:30pm for a time of rest and
balance and see for yourself how a simple and open invitation to worship can
powerfully renew our relationship with God and fellowship with each other.
11th Annual Operation Hope Totes
Each year the City Rescue Mission has been spreading the hopeful message of Easter through a
project called Operation Hope Tote. With your help, we can make this 11th year the most
successful it has ever been by providing our neighbors with basic personal essentials like a
toothbrush, bar of soap, or clean socks.
Here’s how it works:
- Pick up a Hope Tote and yellow Contents Slip from the community room
- During the season of Lent, fill the Hope Tote with a variety personal care items
- Return the Hope Tote to St. John’s by Palm Sunday (March 28th).
The Saginaw Rescue Mission will pass the bags out to some of our city’s neediest men, women and children. What a great way to spread the message of HOPE in our community!
ERD & Haitian Relief
Also, please remember the work of Episcopal Relief and Development. Perhaps it can be as
simple as utilizing one of the hope chests for your pocket change and remembering their work
in your prayers, perhaps it’s more. In
addition to their mission being tied into
the Millennium Development Goals,
ERD is well at work in the recovery and
relief work in Haiti. The Hope Chests
are in the Community Room as well,
along with an abundance of information
on the ERD, with more ways to help.
The Hope Chests are also due back on
March 28, 2010. Thanks for your participation!
