April 29, we went downtown to aid the homeless of our area. We were blessed in every way possible. We were blessed in that the terrible weather that was predicted didn't come until after our work was finished. We were blessed in that the people we intended to reach found us and accepted the help that we had to offer. The vehicles that went out were all loaded with as many items as they could fit, and the vast majority of those items were given to the people who needed them. We are blessed with the people who gave their time and energy to make the parts of this come together. We are blessed with having all of the caring people who contributed the items that are needed by the homeless. Thank you everyone for everything you do.
God gave us all special talents. As a thank you, it's up to you to use those talents in His church. There are many opportunities here at St. John's, and it doesn't have to be complicated or overly time consuming. It could be helping with altar guild, folding bulletins, ushering, reading lessons, church maintenance, Burrito Project, etc. What are your talents? Make 2025 the year you use your talents to God's glory! Contact the church office to sign up!
The Prayer Labyrinth Walk is held on the second Wednesday of every month, year-round, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Prayer Labyrinth is in the Parish Hall. Each hour, there are 15 minute segments, with 3 slots available during each 15-minute segment, so that up to 3 people can walk the labyrinth at a time. People should sign up on the sheet on the counter in the lobby ahead of time, to accommodate everyone who would like to take part.
Prayer Labyrinths have been used for thousands of years by many religions and Christian denominations as a spiritual, meditative, and prayer tool.
If anyone has a question, please send an email to this address: prayerlabyrinth@gmail.com.
Despite the poor weather conditions, on New Year's Eve the Burrito Project team was doing our normal thing. We prepared and fed over 100 burritos to the homeless; but that's not all of what we consider to be normal. We distributed blankets and as much warm clothing as we had on hand. It's a difficult job; but it's made easier by what we have.
What we have is people who work hard and love doing the work. There are people who prepare the meals, people who go out and distribute what we have to the poor and homeless. We have Thrivent Financial paying for the food ingredients and we have the people who generously contribute the personal care items that are given to those in need.
Thank you to everyone. Your participation makes doing this possible.
The next time we will be doing our normal thing will be at the end of April.
