"2020"Love Offering" Envelopes will be in the pew racks if you are moved to contribute a special gift. Thank you for supporting this important ministry.

Power Packs Project
Volunteers needed for Power Packs: The Jonestown Council of Churches supports this program at Jonestown Elementary, which is an initiative to 1) provide weekend food for children who receive free/reduced price lunches during the week and 2) to teach families how to cook healthy, frugal meals.
Each week, we need two volunteers to serve at the school from 2:45-4 PM. Volunteers help with sorting the bags, and distributing to families when they arrive.
Volunteers can expect to serve once every four to six weeks, during the school year (program is canceled on snow days!)
If you are able to help with this project, please reply to Pastor Caitlin Kurtz at 717-865-3652 or
pastorckurtz@gmail.com
as soon as possible!

Gathering Room on the Bulletin Board. There are no sponsors yet for any Sunday in February.
The cost for altar sponsorship is $15 and you can choose from available silk arrangements. Cost to sponsor bulletins is $10. This is one small way you can help St. John's and celebrate a special day or memory.

Enjoy the Convenience of Electronic Giving
It is encouraging to see both new and familiar faces at our worship services. Throughout the year, many of you already support the congregation with your time, talent and financial contributions but greater participation is always welcome. We encourage you to look into our electronic giving program. It takes just a few minutes to set up a recurring giving plan. Contact the church office for more details or pick up an authorization form today.
