St John’s Happenings

News from the Centre Street Food Pantry:   Headed to the Market?    A nice variety of soups and canned fruit is very much in demand!  Other ideas:  baking items and condiments to cook with.

Please continue to leave your donations on the right side bench in the long hall – along with vocally spreading the word about the Pantry!  Thank you

The Reverend Mark D. W. Edington is our Celebrant and Preacher at 10:00 a.m. Easter Sunday Festival Eucharist, Rite II Service, this Sunday, April 5, 2015.  Child Care will be provided.

Please Note:  There will be no 8:00 a.m. service this Sunday, April 5th.

Thank you!
