Dear St. John's
Parishioner,
Beginning this coming Sunday, September 13th, we will
revert to our fall/winter/spring worship schedule. There will
be Sunday morning worship at 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM in
addition to the Saturday service at 5:00 PM. Sunday
Church School resumes this week with Rally Day Sunday.
Students will register, have their pictures taken, join
together in a special service and meet their new teachers.
Combining worship with the fellowship of getting back together
for another year of learning about the wonders of God, should
make it a great
day. | |

Church
Building Update
1. The organ has been
installed and will be in working order next Sunday. Remaining
parts have been securely stored at Niagara Organ works along
with all the pew cushions.
2. The boiler work has
begun. Both boilers have been ordered and are in route. Both
will be installed before the heating season.
3. Verizon has relocated the main service
from the church building to the education building.
4. The sound system from
the church has been installed in the Parish Hall.
THANK YOU to all who helped
with the organ move; we are very grateful.

Tour de Revs Update
The
Reverends completed their, "Three guys, one bike, 100 days,
13,000 miles and 65 cities" on August 20th with the final stop
in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They rode into the Convention
Center, spoke to the 2,000 people gathered for the Church Wide
Assembly and received a standing ovation. The total
funds raised for the ELCA World Hunger Appeal has not yet been
announced.
At St. John's we have also completed
our support and sponsorship of the Tour de Revs. We
successfully had volunteers to sponsor 72 of the 100 days; 56
of the 65 stops. Over 120 adults and children from St.
John's participated in this effort to bring attention to and
raise money for the plight of the world's hungry. As of
September 7th we have collected $3,471 in contributions with
$1,157 in matching funds from the Erie County Thrivent Chapter
for a total of $4,628. This is about 77% of our $6,000
goal. There are still several volunteers who sponsored a
day with outstanding donations.
THANKS TO ALL for your support and hard
work.
