Person to Person Dove Program
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
We are so grateful for your help with the Dove Program this year. With need in the community higher than ever due to the COVID-19 crisis, your support makes a big difference for families struggling economically in this holiday season. While we know that the “digital dove” effort is not the same, please know that your efforts are every bit as valuable. Food insecurity has increased substantially for local families, and this digital dove will be as much a blessing as ever. Many thanks.
Please consider a suggested donation of $50.00 to purchase a ShopRite gift card for a family in need. Place your check in the collection basket or mail it to the church office and be sure to include the word "Dove" on the memo line.
St. John's Book Club Announcement
For several months the St John’s Book Club has been meeting once a month to discuss a book chosen by the group. The choices have been varied and insightful and provocative good discussion has ensued. 
However a decision has been made to terminate the Book Club. The Club was founded as a direct response to the isolation we were all experiencing during the height of the Covid epidemic but as restrictions have been lifted, and we are meeting in person, and some have returned to work in offices we find that we no longer have the need to get together in this manner. 
We hope that we can all continue to read great books and still see each other as friends and members of the St. John’s Family.
