Staff Pastor Relations Committee Special Announcement
October is Pastor Appreciation month. If you would like to prepare a note to Pastor Jamie of appreciation for his ministry at St John's, a basket will be in the lobby. Notes of gratitude can also be sent to his e-mail if you wish to do that.
Our entire committee feels blessed to have him as our Pastor, and we encourage each one of you, if you are led, to take a moment and drop him a note. This is NOT intended to be a Love Offering event. Thanks for your participation.

Sis•ter•hood Pack
Tuesday, October 29th (Note Date Change) • 7:00 pm
Community Room
Sisterhood - by definition means the feeling of kinship with and closeness to a group of women or all women. The vision for this "Sisterhood Pack" is: to form relational connections with other women; build authentic friendships so we can lean on one another for spiritual and emotional support; help each other with personal needs that may come up; and reach out to the community to share God's love.
Each month we will offer blessings, scripture, prayers, conversation relating to women's issues, and of course: food. Our time together will be a place to be "pampered" when needed or a shoulder to lean on. Plan on a lot of "group, sister hugs!"
The Sisterhood Pack meets the 4th Tuesday of each month (subject to change so please double check the calendar). Please contact Carolyn MacMillan for more information.
