A Message from the Principal
|
|
The busy holiday season is right around the corner. As always, I’m in awe of how quickly the year seems to be going. Over the next week, take some time each day to thank God for your blessings. We are all blessed in so many ways, it is easy to take those things for granted. I have seen a quote many times that says, “What if everything you didn’t thank God for today was gone tomorrow?” Take a minute to think about that.
I hope you’ll join us Thanksgiving Day at our 10:00 worship service. Looking ahead, we have A Cup of Christmas, Advent Tea on Saturday, December 2
nd from 10am-12pm. Ladies, invite your friends and family for an inspirational time of fellowship, crafts and shopping. I hope to see many of you there!
Finally, I am thankful for each and every one of you. You all help make St. John’s the great community that it is. Blessing to you this Thanksgiving.
In His Name,
Teri Lyn Mannes, Principal

Our class will be collecting toys for the People’s Resource Center in Westmont. The PRC supports people with basic needs like food, clothing and emergency financial assistance. We have made birthday bags for the PRC in the past and this year we are collecting toys for their Christmas Share the Spirit program. Suggested items are: arts and craft supplies, baby toys, blocks, books, dolls or action figures, games or puzzles, sports equipment, trucks, trains, gift card to Kohls, Old Navy, Target, Walmart, etc. We will collect the toys on Wednesday, November 29. Money offerings during the month will also be donated to the PRC. Thanks for helping us share the love of Jesus with our neighbors who are struggling!
