St. John’s Happenings
Centre Street Food Pantry: The need for food does not take a vacation! Our Christmas Giving Tree reminds us that donations are still very much needed. Please keep the Food Pantry in your thoughts this summer – the shelves will be in need of re-stocking! Thank you
If you are free to make a delivery while Marjorie is away this summer, the Pantry is open every Tuesday, 4-7 p.m. and the 1st Saturday of each month 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Contact Paula for any further information you may need. Thank you
The Reverend Mark D. W. Edington is our Celebrant and Preacher at the 10:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist Service, June 29, 2014, at Trinity Church, Newton Centre. Child Care will be provided.
Summer Office Hours: The Parish Office will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. through Labor Day. As always, voicemail messages will continue to be retrieved daily!
Summertime Coffee Hour: For the months of July and August we will keep the fellowship of coffee hour fuss-free. We encourage folks to drop off a package or two of cookies and/or lemonade and iced tea to have in reserve. It will be easier if you bring in bottles/cans/containers of cold drinks so that things do not need to be mixed causing additional clean up. Your donations can be left in the kitchenette or refrigerator off of the Loring Room. Thank you
Monday Lunch at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen – PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE
Monday June 30 is our next turn to serve lunch at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen. Due to the construction at the Cathedral, the lunch program has been relocated to St. John the Evangelist Church, located at 35 Bowdoin Street on Beacon Hill. For those travelling from Newton, let’s meet at St. John’s Newtonville with a departure time of 11:00 for the trip downtown. If you are coming from a downtown location, meet us at St. John the Evangelist at 11:45. And for those who cannot attend but would like to contribute, please bring cookies or bars (homemade or store bought) to church on Sunday June 29. If you have any questions, please contact Libby Seaman at epseaman@comcast.net, 617-251-5629.
