SYNOD, DISTRICT & PARTNERSHIP NEWS

 

TLC Quilters - Don’t forget about the TLC Quilter’s “giving pew” by the east doors of St. John’s.  Feel free to take and give away as many quilts and bears as you’d like!  

·         Old Tattered Quilts Needed! Well-loved quilts can be repurposed into prayer hearts to provide comfort for others. 

·         Old Denim Jeans? We are in need of old denim jeans (any color & any condition) to make into quilts. Bring them to the church office or stop by the basement on Tuesdays or Thursdays to see them in action! 

·          Flat Sheets are needed by the TLC Quilters.

Building Healthy Families: Our culture encourages us to see the world and our relationships through a lens of individualism in which we make decisions based on the question, “How will this effect ME?” How would our world be different if we returned to a faith, family, and community-centered lens, in which decisions are instead based on this question: “How will my actions affect my children, my spouse, my parents, my congregational family, my community?” Give it a try this week and see what a difference it makes!
