Chocolate Walk
The Chocolate Walk is back!! Once again, St. John’s will be one of the Sweet Stops. The event will be held on Saturday, June 10 from 5-7:30 PM. I need your help. We were asked to provide 250 pieces of chocolate. Each donation must be wrapped individually before you bring it to the church. It does not matter what kind of chocolate you share. I would appreciate your donations by the end of the workday on Friday, June 9th in the Conference Room.
We will be set up in the Narthex. Tickets for the event are available at the Dover Public Library and The Emporium for $20. Tickets may also be purchased online at Eventbrite…Downtown Dover Chocolate Walk. This is a fun event for Dover and proceeds will benefit the Canal Dover Book Festival. Hope to see you there!
Thanks for all your help!! Belinda
FLOCK (Free Lunch fOr Christ’s Kids) & Blessing Box
Once again, St. John’s will be providing free brown bag lunches for children and adults in the church neighborhood and beyond, beginning Monday, June 12 and we will continue each Monday through August 21 from 11:00am through 1:00pm. The need is still there, and we will be out there helping feed those in need this summer.
You can help by making donations of sandwich bags, snack sized bags, bags of carrots or fruit, small bags of chips, applesauce or pudding cups, granola bars or bottled water. Cash donations are also accepted.
Also, the Blessing Box will continue to be filled with food. As I am sure you all know, groceries are much more expensive these days. Costs for the box have risen dramatically. The box is being used daily. Donations of laundry soap, peanut butter and jelly, cereals, granola bars, canned spaghetti-o’s, spaghetti sauce and noodles, canned fruit and vegetables, bread and applesauce cups would be appreciated. Please, no bags of beans. These are two important missions of St. John’s. Let’s continue our good works.
