St. John's Active Shooter Awareness Seminar
Officer Frisk (CMPD) will be coming (Wednesday) August 1 (6:00 - 8:00pm) for an Active Shooter Awareness seminar specifically for us at St. John's. You are invited to join the Vestry and staff if you are interested.
 
We will start in the Parish Hall for a presentation followed by a tour of our footprint with Officer Frisk to help us put eyes on our physical plant relative to such an emergency should it ever happen here.
 
Officer Frisk has been extremely busy given the school/church violence we've witnessed throughout the country this year. We are grateful for his time and Brad's efforts in making this happen.
 
Faithfully, Don Lassiter
Senior Warden
MISSING LION!  We are on the lookout for a stuffed, musical lion that went missing from the lion's den at St. John's at the end of Vacation Bible School.  The lion plays "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".  If you have seen this lion, or if he accidentally came home with your VBS camper, please return him at your earliest convenience.  His rightful owner is very interested in his safe return.  Please contact Matt Williams ( matt@saintjohns-charlotte.org) if you have any questions or sightings!

HAGAR'S BASKET 
In June, we welcomed 77 guests to Hagar's Basket! As we prepare for our July families, please help us stock our shelves with your kind donations of laundry detergent, feminine hygiene products, diapers, wipes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, toilet tissue, deodorant, soap, disposable razors, shaving cream and body lotion. We thank you for your generosity that supports so many families in need!
  • Are you a high school or college student?
  • Do you regularly worship at St. John's?
  • Would an opportunity to serve (and get service hours) on Sunday mornings be interesting?
  • Do you enjoy working with children and fun adults?
The Family Ministry program is building an intern team to help make all of the Sunday programs possible. Interns work one Sunday morning every 4-6 weeks, and help with Children's Chapel, Children's Sermons, Elementary Formation, EpiscoPALS, and other special events. While these are unpaid internships, they offer a great opportunity to serve others while developing resume-enhancing skills and experience.
 
Interested? Contact Matt Williams to learn more. Matt can be reached by email at matt@saintjohns-charlotte.org or by phone at 704-942-4112.
Middle School Episcopal Outreach Camp
Last call for sign ups for the EOC camp here in Charlotte on July 29 - August 1st.  St. John's is currently sending 12 students to partner with other churches in our convocation for 3 days of local mission work!  A few spaces remain and the cost is only $125.  Forms are available on the third floor and must be turned in to Jillianne no later than Sunday, August 22.

Summer Choir!  Each Sunday of the summer schedule (except July 15), singers ages 8-88+ are invited to sing in the summer choir.  Rehearsal begins at 8:45 a.m. to prepare hymns and an easy anthem for the 9:30 a.m. service.  There's no weekly rehearsal or long-term commitment.  Come join us!
