Another basket of food has been delivered to the God’s Pantry at Corbin Presbyterian Church. The director of the food pantry greatly appreciates our support. If you are wondering what could be particularly helpful right now, the answer is: canned fruit. So, keep that in mind as you bring a can in each hand this Sunday!

RENEW Kroger Community Rewards
August is time to renew (or enroll!) your Kroger Shopper’s Card in Kroger Community Rewards. Each quarter your Kroger purchases earn rewards for St. John’s Episcopal Church. The last quarter we received $94.33 from 12 households who identified St. John’s as their local organization to support.
Each August a household must re-enroll in order to continue supporting its selected community organization. If you are not currently enrolled, please consider taking the time to sign up, and if you have been enrolled, please consider taking time to re-enroll. If we can increase the 12 households to 20, imagine how much more we could earn!
The link below includes instructions on how to sign up or renew your enrollment in Kroger Community Rewards. It costs you nothing personally to sign up, and your purchases help support the mission of St. John’s Episcopal Church:
Proclaiming the Gospel, promoting justice, and preparing a diverse community of seekers to reflect the welcoming love of Christ.

“It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” – sermon/podcast (7 August 2016 – Proper C14: Luke 12:32-40)
This Sunday’s sermon. The audio is a bit weak and scratchy. The phone case may have interfered with the microphone jack being fully inserted.
Diocesan Regional Listening Session Reminder
This Wednesday, August 3, St. John’s is hosting one of the four Diocesan Regional Listening Sessions. The session begins at 6:00 pm with Evening Prayer. Please come and share your prayerful thoughts and insights about 1) the effect of Dr. Hahn’s suspension on you and your parish; 2) whether the integrity of the relationship between Dr. Hahn and the Diocese and its people can be restored (including why or why not); 3) the advantages and disadvantages of restoring the relationship; and 4) where you have experienced grace during this time.
If you are unable to attend this listening session, there is one other listening session scheduled Thursday, August 11 at St. Alban’s, Morehead (145 East 5th Street, Morehead 40351, stalbansmorehead@gmail.com)
