Trunk-or-Treat on Oct. 24: Check out this article with more information on the donations and volunteers needed!
Grandparents Day: The school is holding a Grandparent’s Day event on Friday, October 31st, 8-10:30am. Volunteers are needed to be partnered up with students who do not have a grandparent or special friend able to join for the morning. Volunteers will sit with a student during chapel and then accompany them to the book fair and a classroom tour. If you’re willing to help, please contact Deaconess Michele. (You don’t have to be a grandparent to volunteer for this!)
Co-lead a Bible lesson and craft for students with Deaconess Michele: During Connect service, Deaconess Michele does a craft with students once or twice a month, and is in need of volunteers to assist. These projects are planned ahead of time so information can be shared early on, so that you know when and what you would be doing. If you’re willing to help, contact Deaconess Michele.
NEST: Are you good at being a sounding board for ideas? Are you good at praying for our school? Our Nurturing Eagle Support Team (N.E.S.T.) is looking for additional assistance from anyone with St. John’s connections (church or school). All that’s required is some time to meet and your passion for SJLS. Give the school office a call or read more about upcoming events here.
Help prepare the altar for communion Sundays: Volunteers serve one month of the year and assistance is available as you learn the process. For more information, contact the church office.
Thrift Shop: Help is always appreciated to keep the story tidy and prep donations to go in the shop. If you have time available on Mondays or Thursdays from 8 am – 10 am to help, please stop by to volunteer.
(To volunteer for any of these ministries, contact the church office and they will get you connected to the right person!)
