Top of the Hill Restaurant closes their season and remembers "ours."   Profits from this Saturday night's dining at Top of the Hill Restaurant will be donated to the Westside Food Pantry as we prepare to open our new season in November.  Come for the annual Last Nite Celebration, Saturday, October 13th, 5 PM to closing and help the Westside Food Pantry while you enjoy this season-ending night at Top of the Hill.  Bring your family and friends!  Also, bring your cash or checkbook--no credit cards for this final night!

 

Westside Food Pantry Committee meets Tuesday, Oct. 16, 6:30 PM at St. John.  This meeting will kick-off our Pantry season which opens the first Sunday in November.  We will review last year's numbers--both usage and financial--and announce some changes to operations for the upcoming season.  This committee is the "serving heart" of the Pantry, and we would like to offer an opportunity for new members to join us in this life-giving mission.  If you would like to join our "working committee", or know someone who might, come or bring them to the meeting.  You can call Dean (664-8615), or Susan (244-3124) to learn more about the Pantry and our work.

Prayer for the Community of St. Andrew & St. John                       

Gracious God, we offer thanks for our parish, for your inspiration, and for the many generous open hearts whose donations will bring accessibility to all at St. John’s. Guide us all as the planned expansion of the facilities comes to reality. We thank you for the various trades and skills of those who work on the addition. Protect and guide them as they labor, that they may take pride in their accomplishments. Inspire us to share faithfully the love that you have revealed to us through the ministry and sacrifice of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
