February/March
Ash Wednesday - On February 26 the Worship & Music Committee will host a Soup & Bread Supper at St. John’s prior to the joint Ash Wednesday service with Trinity Great Swamp. The meal begins at 6 p.m., with worship to follow at 7:30. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board by the kitchen to sign if you plan to attend and to list what soup and/or bread you are bringing to the dinner. Please write it on the sheet, as it will be helpful with the planning process. We will have butter and/or margarine for the bread, but if you prefer to have jelly or jam please feel free to bring it along to share. The Committee would appreciate help serving the soup and bread that are being donated to make this event a success. If you are able to help serve or clean up afterwards please talk to Marsha Hartley.
Lenten Eve Services - Lenten Eve Services will be held at St. John's, beginning on February 26, 2020 with the Ash Wednesday Bread & Soup Supper and continuing until April 1, 2020. We are planning to use the Holden Evening Prayer service. Services begin at 7:30 p.m. There will be a Coffee hour after each service for fellowship. The Worship & Music Committee is asking for help with baking and serving for Coffee Hour. We appreciate all baked or store bought goods to serve. We also need help with clean-up. There are sign up sheets by the kitchen to let the committee know how you can help in this part of the service. Thank you for your assistance in making the Lenten Services a success. We appreciate your help!!
Harvest Fest meeting - Sunday, March 8 - Plans are underway for our fall Harvest Fest (September 26, 2020 – save the date!). We have had several meetings already. This event will be an evangelism outreach for the congregation and open to the community.
Committees are working to define the scope of the event. Some ideas being discussed include music, entertainment, crafts, a bake sale, raffles, activities for children & young adults, a flea market, and of course, food!
There are currently about 15 members that are participating in the planning of this event so far. As we nail down the details, we will keep everyone updated. All are welcome to participate in preparing for and executing this event. Please feel free to attend the meetings.
