Ladies’ of St. John’s: Please note that in place of the regular June meeting we will meet on June2 at 9:00 a.m. to do the summer kitchen cleaning. Thanks for your time and help!

Thank You! Our school recently received $272 from General Mills “Box Tops for Education.” The money is used for art supplies. Thank you for your help!

“Seniors on the Go”will meet todaybetween services. We are looking to start a group to go on short (1 afternoon) type trips, using our own people as drivers. We would stop for lunch and continue on to our destination. Each passenger would have to contribute a small amount for gas money. We would try to do this once a month. This is NOT for seniors only. If you would be interested in this, please talk to Carol Schmocker (928-3096) or Betty Belter (928-2451).

AdultInformationClass: Pastor would like to start an adult information class in the beginning of June after school is out. The class goes over the basic teachings of the Bible and is open to anyone interested in learning more about God’s Word or in joining St. John’s. It’s also a good refresher for those who are already members. If you or anyone you know is interested in attending please let Pastor know.

SummerScrip: Thank you to everyone who has participated in the Scrip program this year. We will be ordering and selling scrip on a bi-weekly basis over the summer. On-hand scrip sales will be available after church on the following Sundays: June 5 & 19, July 3, 17, & 31, and August 14 & 28. We will begin weekly sales again on September 11. This year’s scrip year ends on June 30. All sales July 1 and after will be attributed to the 2016-2017 academic year. Don’t forget that your Scrip earnings can be used for tuition for future students of St. John’s as well as Luther Prep. Or WLA. Any questions, please call Chris Edwards (296-7845) or Desirae Pausma (324-8858).

Greeters are needed for next Sunday and all of the services in June and July. Please write your name in where you can help on the sign-up sheet in the fellowship hall. Thank you for your time!

Winnie Lu Fights for You

Hannah Putz is a member of Grace, Waupun and a graduate of St. John’s School. This year for her Viking Council senior project, Hannah is organizing a cancer walk to be held on the Winnebago Lutheran Academy campus Saturday, June 4th. Below are all the details from Hannah.

Iam organizing a Cancer Walk that will be held on Saturday, June 4th. It will be held at 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the WLA track field. My purpose for this walk is to bring attention to ALL different types of cancer, not just the most common. The cost will be $10 for adults and $7 for students and under. You pay the day of the walk. Proceeds for this event will be going to WLA to start a fund for future WLA students who, themselves or a family member, are going through expensive treatments and are having trouble paying for tuition. When you pay to get in you will be to enjoy the morning with various activities going on and the ability to walk around the track to show your support. I’m hoping to get everyone involved, especially WLA students!

- Please spread the word and invite your friends and family along!

-There is a container in the fellowship hall if you are wanting to make donations. (For checks, write them out to WLA)

-Any questions? Email Hannah at
