THANK YOU FROM MARISSA KLEIN

I want to express my deep appreciation to the Charity Dinner Committee, the High School Youth, the Property Committee and the leaders of VBS for their generous donations to the playground Fund. We have been in need of upgrades to this area of our church and with these donations we will be able to make the plans a reality.  The new and improved playground will help fulfill children, youth, and adult ministries in various ways.  Thank you again for your help!  Yours in Christ, Project Service Coordinator, Marissa Klein.

PROJECT HOPE / THORNTON FAMILY ASSISTANCE  -- Pastor Henry Schulte

In February the Chruch Council approved "Project Hope: A Disaster Assistance Ministry" as an ongoing project to provide immediate funds in case of a local Natural Disaster such as home fire, tornado, or flood.  We also included the continuing assistance via designated gifts for the Roosevelt Thornton Family.  While intended for good, it only caused a confusion of funds.  So the Council has removed the Thornton Assistance Fund from Project Hope, and asked the former Project Hope Task Force to continue to manage the distribution of designated gifts to the Thornton Family and allowed the "Project Hope: A Disaster Assistance Ministry" to be placed under the Stewardship Committee with Walter Stroman as our area Disaster Contact Person.  The Thornton Assistance Task Force has only one goal:  "To assist this family so that they can stay together and have a home to live in and provide assistance to Mr. Thornton as he seeks to raise four children.  Designated gifts should be made payable to St. John, memo your contribution: The Roosevelt Thornton Family Assistance Project.                                                                               

Beginning July 20 and continuing through August 31 we will be having a school supplies drive for middle and high school students that belong to the SAM'S KIDS program in the Boerne School District.  This program was started by the late Sam Champion and it helps Students Achieve Maximum Success.  The program identifies and helps needy students reach their academic potential through various programs and services.  When collection time approaches there will be a basket in the Narthex.   For those who would like a head start, a generic list of school supplies can be found on page 6 of July's "THE MESSENGER".  There will also be a more detailed list in one of the bulletins during July.  So, when you are out purchasing supplies for your children, please remember those school students who are in need!  For those who wish to make a monetary donation, you can do that too!  For more information or if you have questions please contact Marissa Klein or call the church office.
