MEALS TO GO
Our Meals To-Go Program is going strong. Pick up your meal to go at the coffee hour and start your week right with a healthy meal. All proceeds go towards the festival fund.
ADOPT A HIGHWAY PROGRAM
A Giant Thank You to our Volunteers Angela & Michael, Chris, Jimmy, Lauren & Joe for coming out, braving the heat, and giving back. May you be blessed!
LET'S GET READY FOR SCHOOL!
Sunday School will commence again on September 22, a week after the church festival. We will have new materials from the Archdiocese for the new school year. We are in great need for volunteers that can help cover the classes. A lesson plan and materials would be provided. Please contact Mary Maxson if you can help the future of St. John. We wish all our youth a blessed school year as they start school.
Our Greek School program is based on teaching Modern Greek as a second language. We offer beginner to advanced levels for all ages. Children’s classes will be held on Saturday Mornings, and the adult class will be on a weeknight.

PROSFORO
Of the many ways of supporting our Church, there are few which stand out as uniquely personal offerings of faith. The offering of Prosforo bread for the Divine Liturgy is one of them. We are thankful to the handful of ladies who have faithfully fulfilled this responsibility over the years and we invite more of our faithful - especially young families with children - to make this a part of their lives as well. Want to be added to our Prosforo list? Please see Maria Simeon.
Please make sure that Prosforo is in church before the start of the Orthros service on Sunday. Please write the date (or put a sticker with the date) on the plastic bags with the Prosforo. That way the oldest will be used first. Thank you for your help.
