St. John’s Social Hall

The Fellowship Board is collecting Backpacks and school supplies to fill them. The collection will run from July 11 thru August 9. Please place all donations in the Social Hall or bring them to the Church Office. All items will be sent to “The Closet” to benefit the Foster, adoptive, and Kinship families in the area. Last year we collected 100 backpacks with supplies. We hope to surpass this goal. For more information, please check out the display in the Social Hall, or contact Cheryl Thomas.
