Council Capsule
After a delayed start, the construction of our new addition has begun moving along very quickly. Because of the late start, the interior may not be completely finished but we will still have our grand opening on Sept. 12th. As a reminder, please keep an eye on the children when they are outside after liturgy.
By now, you should have received your invitation to our Sept. 11th 30th anniversary dinner. We have a wonderful evening planned and want everyone to share this momentous occa- sion in the life of our Parish. Make your reservations today for an evening of celebration and recollections of the past 30 years and our expectations and hopes for the future of St.John’s.
With all the construction and Sept. 11th and 12th celebration plans, we must not forget that the festival is rapidly approaching. The pastry preparations have begun and will continue up to the festival itself. Please give whatever time you can to help and don’t forget to sign up to help during the festival itself. It takes a lot of hands to prepare for the festival and we need everyone’s help.
It was brought to my atten- tion that during liturgy there are children in the nursery without adult supervision. The nursery was established for children under Sunday School age to be supervised by parents on a rotating basis. Any other children should be in church during liturgy. If there is a need for the nursery, Youth Ministries will address the situation and set up a schedule so that there is an adult present at all times.
Lastly, I hope everyone is enjoying the new format of the Forerunner . Fr. Vasile has done a great job on improving the concept and new design.
