Dear St John’s Church family,
Thankful as we enter the summer months to know that our great God is still in charge. Let’s do our best to reflect the light of His love and mercy in our daily lives! Please share and invite your friends (in person or online) to our services! Let’s distribute all the door hangers now that warmer weather has arrived. Although we are not going to attempt a specific VBS outreach ministry this year, we do remain hopeful that our Children’s Ministry each Sunday will continue to grow. Very blessed to have Mrs. Kathy faithfully working with our kids most every week!
We are gearing up for June celebrations with a communion service on the 4th, Special Pre-Father’s Day picnic on the 11th and our 3rd Sunday Sing/ Father’s Day service tied together on June 18th! Plans are in the works to add several concert type services for your Sunday morning enjoyment and worship! Watch for specific dates and times announcements as summer approaches. Make your plans NOW to be involved in these big days! God will honor our faithfulness! Pray for how God can use YOU to help build our church! The time for action is NOW! We have ongoing needs for help concerning WORK DAYS, Ushers and Greeters, Worship Leaders, Song leader, Children’s Moment lesson, Church Council, Kitchen Service and Children’s Ministry leaders! Pray about your part!
Let’s also continue to pray for the heart of America. Jesus is our ROCK and REFUGE in times of trouble (Psalm 46)! We need God NOW more than ever!
Always feel free to call or text me on my cell phone at 708-370-7601. My email is pastorwendell20@gmail.com
May God bless St John’s UCC! Good people serving a GREAT GOD!
Pastor Wendell
