Thank you to all who continually give of their time to the Community suppers. It is a Community supper meaning that our Community of St. John's supports these dinners. A sign up sheet is posted for help with this week’s dinner in the way of homemade dessert and fruit. Please, please help us support the teams who are so generously feeding 100 or more every week. It takes a community to support a community.

Care Packages for Loved Ones in the Military…Update from Helping Hands
Thank you to all who brought in items to send in the care packages to our loved ones in the military and to our local Summit County soldiers who are serving overseas! The packages hopefully let these soldiers know that they are appreciated and not forgotten while serving in distant lands.
Our next care packages will be mailed in March. Please look for the basket in the parish hall if you would like to contribute items for us to include in the packages. In addition to the list of suggested items posted next to the basket, checks to cover the cost of shipping are also welcome and may be made payable to the church with a notation that they are for Military Care Packages.
We would like to keep current mailing addresses for all the loved ones in the military who are listed in the St. John's Sunday Bulletin for whom we pray each week. Please contact Sally Peel in the church office at stjohns@colorado.net if you have any updated information about these soldiers.
