It will be a busy Sunday this weekend. Bishop Doug Hahn will be at St. John’s for his annual visit. We will be celebrating the confirmations of three members of our community, and having a potluck after the service. Vestry will also have a meeting with the bishop after the potluck.

God’s Pantry sponsors a senior food program through Corbin Presbyterian Church that unloads, packs and distributes food to 312 low income seniors in our area. The truck load of food (about 10,000 pounds) arrives at the church on the 4th Monday (October 26) of each month about 10:00, and the cases of food are unloaded and stacked in the church fellowship hall. The next night (October 27) at 6:00 we get together and pack the food into 312 boxes. Then, Wednesday (October 28) from 9:00 to 12:30 is the great day when the seniors come to the church to pick up their food and we desperately need people who can carry the boxes to their cars. All of this is labor intensive, and requires some lifting on Monday and Wednesday. On Tuesday we pack the boxes in an assembly line. We are acutely aware that most people who can do this easily are working on Monday and Wednesday, but we would certainly welcome any help we can get!
Serving Our Neighbors – See baskets in the parlor.
