Wounded Warriors Family Ski Week

Similar to last year, the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center is hosting a Wounded Warriors Family Ski Week from April 11 to 16.  Unlike many other Wounded Warrior Ski programs, the BOEC is bringing in the wounded military veterans as well as their families to learn how to ski.  As part of our St. John's outreach programs we are helping in two ways.  First, St. John's is hosting the opening night dinner for the families April 11 at Grand Timber Lodge (the Parish Hall is too small.)  A sign up sheet is at the back of the Parish Hall if you would like to help.  Secondly, bringing in families is expensive.  Last year we raised over $1,500 for BOEC to help defray the costs.  If you would like to help with a financial contribution please make the check out to St John's and indicate Wounded Warriors or BOEC in the memo section.  Thank you for your help.

A big thanks to Patrick McWilliams for organizing our bookshelves in the parish hall.  Check out our selection of books for sale - all proceeds will benefit St. John's Outreach programs.

The next ingathering of Blessings Jars will be Palm Sunday, March 28th.  There are extra jars in the parish hall, so start saving your change now.  Proceeds will benefit St. John's Outreach programs.

Attention Parents and All 8-11 Year Olds

Lent began on Ash Wednesday!  The first Sunday in Lent is February 21.  Lent is a time to prepare our hearts and minds for Easter.  Historically in some churches, people chose to "give up" something that was personally important to them.  How about choosing to add something that is important to you? The story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection is the most meaningful story for all Christians.  We have planned six Sundays, which began on February 21, to focus on Jesus' story in our Upper Room Godly Play for ages 8-11.   Let's plan to make the six Sundays of Lent a time to walk and talk the story of Jesus together!  See you on Sunday!

**New After School Program Underway**

We have started our after school program.  It will reside in the current church office near Breckenridge Elementary.  Children in grades 3rd through 5th will get together Tuesday afternoons from 4-6 in a fun, supportive, safe environment.  The program will support values such as honesty, community, and respect.         


During our 2-hour sessions each week we will set aside about a half hour to have volunteers from the congregation share their talents, expertise, and/or interests with the children.  This program will rely on you, members of St. John's church, to be successful.  If you have any ideas or want to come help  with the program we would love it!  Ideas we have thus far include arts and crafts, cooking projects, dancing, reading and playing music, different languages and cultures, and all kinds of sports.  You could help or lead any of these or come up with your own ideas.  Email Kristen god4kids@gmail.com with your suggestions.  The team for the program will come up with a proposed schedule and fill you in accordingly.

During Lent the Adult Education Program will center around the book "40 Day Journey with Joan Chittister". Each of the 40 Days in the book contain a reading from Joan Chittister, a quote from scripture, a psalm fragment, questions to ponder, reflections for journaling, prayers for hope and healing, and a prayer for the day. Each Sunday our discussions will center in the previous week's readings, any questions that have arisen and our responses to the readings.  The discussion will be facilitated by Frances Mc Williams, Vicki Morgan, and Rev. Christy. As usual, we will meet at about 9:15 on Sunday mornings, in the parish hall. Everyone is welcome!
