USED BOOKS The monies currently raised from the sale of used books are going to support the Elderhomes ramps project. Since Dec. 5 we have collected $110.65 for Elderhomes which include a one-day new high in collections of $47.30. On behalf of the Outreach we thank you for your generosity. Remember to return the books after reading them. That is where we make our money on resale. If you are new to this project the books are located in the parish hall. The prices range from twenty-five cents to one dollar. WE NEED CHILDREN’S BOOKS, just leave them in the grey container under the table.

 

BEULAH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, the school we provided Angel Tree Christmas gifts to, in in need of volunteers who can donate an hour per week assisting a teacher by working individually or in small groups with children who need a little extra help in reading comprehension or math skills. If you can help, please contact Chris Day (743-9810 or cday161293@comcast.net.

Please make checks payable to St. John’s Altar Guild and print the name of those you would like to honor or memorialize and place in the offering plate or give to any altar guild member.

FOOD BANK In order to increase our contribution to the many requests for feeding those in need, the Outreach committee decided to have a perpetual food drive. Donations will be used to help support the St Matthews' food pantry and Martha for the Homeless.
