IT'S A WHALE OF A STORY! 
Jonah was trapped inside a huge fish and couldn't imagine how he would be able to escape. He was afraid that he was about to become a "fish dinner"! Come to Sunday School and hear the whole story.
Sunday School in-person meets in the Heritage Room from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.  Lesson materials will also be sent by email to all Sunday School and Wednesday Bible School families. If you do not receive your package, contact Dalyne Shinneman at dalyne.shinneman@gmail.com or call 630.772.1688.

We have a lot going on this week.
9 Activities, 90 Days
(Re)Connecting with Jesus, His Church and the World
It’s been a long haul since the pandemic started back in 2020. For many of us, we can’t help but feel a little “disconnected” from our Lord, His Church and the world around us. And with summer 2021 right around the corner, that disconnection has the potential to feel even bigger.

That’s why this summer you are encouraged to participate in St. John’s church-wide campaign, “Summer in the SON”. Starting June 1st and going all the way through the end of August, you are encouraged to “(Re)Connect” through these suggested activities:
WORSHIP - READ - PRAY - GROW - FAMILY - GIVE - SERVE - SHARE - CONNECT
Throughout the summer, take a photo of your activity and send it to St. John’s (digital or print), tagging your name and which activity you’re doing/completing. These photos will be posted to St. John’s Facebook page, the weekly Mission and also put up on a “Summer in the SON” Celebration Wall in the church narthex.

Check out St. John's Facebook page for more information about these activities. Sign-up sheets are available below or in the church narthex. Let’s enjoy doing these activities this summer, because we are “in the SON” through His gracious work for us!
See all the St. John Church family and friends who are graduating from eighth grade, high school and college this year!

GROW...in BIBLE STUDY AND SMALL GROUPS!
NEW SMALL GROUP ADDED!

Rebecca Hemminger and Katie Maxwell will be leading a small group Bible study for moms. We will plan to meet at 8:00am on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month, with June 12th and June 26th as the first two dates. The study will be held outdoors in person at either Katie or Rebecca’s house. The book we will be using for our study is titled “Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood” and can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/160142650X?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Please contact Katie Maxwell at katie.coxey@gmail.com if you are interested in joining us or have any questions. We look forward to fellowship, studying the Bible and sharing our faith together as a group of Christian mothers!
