WE NEED YOUR HELP !!!!
Our giving at St. John’s has been significantly down since the Covid-19 pandemic, and we need your help.
But, let us give not out of a spirit of fear, but of worship.
We offer our gifts, though, at any time, even those of surplus. God takes our lives, represented by the bread, wine, and our labors laid on the altar, are transformed by God to look more like Himself. By His grace, we are made to participate in the Spirit’s on-going life and work. Alleluia!
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work” (2 Cor. 9:8).

Emergency Food Packages
If you or someone you know of from our St. John’s Congregational family are
in need during this difficult time of isolation and shut down please contact Rev.
Sharon (mrschalc@gmail.com), Pamela Doroh (stjohnscairo@gmail.com)
or Joyce Lee (sylee8869@yahoo.com). St. John’s is establishing a small
emergency foodbank, with packages for a limited number of people but which
can be given to those in need during this time. Do get in touch if you or another
is in need.
If you would like to support this outreach that would be a welcome
donation indeed. Please mark your offering as ‘Foodbank Offering’ and it
will go to that ministry. Thank you.

St. John the Baptist Parish Website www.stjohnschurchmaadi.org is in need of some love and attention. If that is something you might have experience with would you please speak with Pamela? Thank you!
Remember, with all your hearts, the words we have to cling to:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. John 1:1-
