Easter Festive Coffee Hour

                     

Dear Most Generous St John's Parishioners - Easter is almost upon us...and hopefully some sun and warm weather! As our tradition at St John's, please consider bringing in a yummy treat to share to help make a most festive Easter Coffee Hour! Coffee Hour will be between the 2 services at 10:00ish (Easter Egg Hunt will be going on!) instead of after the later service, as many people have Easter lunch plans.

 

We could also use some kitchen help...an early shift to help set up coffee hour around 9am (those of you who are planning on going to the later service) and a later shift to help clean up (those of you who went to the earlier service and can stick around).

 

Please contact Jen Stevens (jenstevens67@gmail.com or 828-1963) or Carol Gruen (carolrgruen@me.com or 828-3165) if you are able to help with set up or clean up or if you have any questions.

  

  

 

 

  The Good Friday Offering - Reaching out since 1922

 

For nearly a century, the Good Friday Offering has been a source of support, love, and hope for our brothers and sisters in the Episcopal Church in Jerusalem and the Middle East. This offering expresses our own commitment to seek and serve Christ in all persons and to walk with the church of the Middle East as they continue to strive for justice, reconciliation, and peace.

 

This offering carries on the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Refugees are cared for, the sick and injured are healed, children educated, women empowered, and all are welcomed like guests of Abraham and Sarah. Jesus cared for all in need and these ministries do the same.

 

Some of the projects funded by your Good Friday Offering include:

* St. Peter's Elderly Home in BirZeit, offering housing for elderly Christians

* St. Andrew's Day Care Center in Ramallah, a new clinic for

diabetic cardio treatment

* St. Andrew's Housing Project for Young Christian Couples,

which helps young couples afford apartments

* Ras Morbat Clinic in Aden, Yemen, which provides unlimited

access to basic health services in a low-income area

 

Please make your check out to St. John's, memoed "Good Friday" or feel free to place your loose offering in the plate at our Good Friday service. Your support of the Good Friday Offering helps transform today's loss into tomorrow's possibility.
