Also, from Ellie Menz:
I have been in contact with the Disaster Response Coordinators in Iowa District East. They need our help to continue the process of cleaning up the downed trees. Workers are needed for next week, and following weeks, too. Contact me if you are interested in helping. ellie@iowadistrictwest.org or 515-370-1159.
RALLY SUNDAY: We plan to resume Sunday School and youth Bible study on Rally Sunday September 13. Sunday School begins at 8:45am, with first graders receiving Bibles and fifth graders receiving Catechisms in the worship service at 10am.
MISSION DINNER will be not be held this year due to concerns over COVID-19. However, we will take a door offering for missionary support on Sunday, September 13. We will have an offering basket at the center door as you enter; side doors will continue to be for weekly offerings. We encourage you to be generous as most missionaries must raise 100 percent of their own support. Past recipients of our mission funds have included our own Brent and Eugenie Friedrichs, Mark and Megan Mantey (Mark's great-grandfather was a teacher at St. John), as well as other missionaries supported by Mission Central. The final decision on missionary support will be made by the voters at their October meeting.
LWML FALL RALLY has been canceled. St. John will now host the spring rally in April of 2021.
