Catechism resumes on Sept 20th
Dear Parents
We hope you and your family had a great, refreshing summer. We at St. John's
Catechism classes are looking forward to another wonderful year with your
children. Lessons begin on Sunday, September 20, at 9:45 a.m. in the parish hall.
During this first class, you will receive a consent form regarding whether you do or
do not want your child to viewthe safe environment video, which will be shown on
the second or third Sunday of class. Additionally, a special presentation on fire
safety and active shooter awareness will be presented during the second or third
week.
This year, we have planned two fundraising activities to help coverthe cost of a
Maryanne's Ice Cream cone during our spring visit to the wax statues of the Last
Supper. The first fundraiser will take place on a Saturday in October, wherewe will
meet to make and decorate cookies or bake pet treats. The second will be in late
November, where the children will assist with Christmas gift wrapping in exchange
for donations. Parishioners will be invited to come to the hall and, for a donation,
help themselves to wrapping paper, etc.The students will assist in cutting the
paper and the ribbon, keeping the supplies available and in orderly condition,
bringing the wrapers something to drink or more tape, whatever.
We are also excited to welcome Linda Fields, a longtime parishioner at St.
John's, to our teaching staff. Please feel free to share suggestions or ask questions
at any time.We are privileged to workwith your family in this ministry.
God bless us all,
Judie Kolbmann, Maura Zink, Kevin Doran, April Joy Lockwood, and Linda Fields
