Christ and why we still do today!

22nd and 29th) and Dec. 6th. We would
also like to have an additional dress

FUNDRAISING UPDATES
As Pastor Justin mentioned last week,
WE DID IT! The ELCA Malaria Campaign
reached its financial goal of $15 million.
Malaria programming has taken place
throughout 13 countries in Africa.
St. John’s has also played a part in
helping the ELCA reach its goal of
$500,000 in the Walk for Water Campaign.
By working together, we have brought
about lasting change!
THANK YOU ST. JOHN’S
IN MAKING A
DIFFERENCE IN OUR
FIGHT AGAINST WORLD
HUNGER
On Sunday, October 18th, St. John’s was
represented by 35 enthusiastic volunteers
who participated in the MERCY MEALS
PACK AWAY HUNGER DAY held at
Divot’s DeVent Center. We had a
wonderful time packing 11,400 meals for
hungry children. Thank you for your time
and thank you to the Benefaction Board for
their generous donation used to purchase
supplies for the packaway event.

QUILTERS UNTIE UNITE! October has 5 Thursdays, so the
quilters know what that means -- Oct. 29 will be a Quilter Potluck
Gathering! (No quilting on Oct. 22). Bring your scissors of choice and a
dish to share. Dear Benefaction Board – Thanks so much for the opportunity
to meet with the Benefaction Fund Committee at St. John’s.
I appreciated greatly the chance to share with all of you the vision and strategies in campus ministry at Midland University. We want to ensure that we always have a full-time ordained campus pastor for our growing number of students and for the whole campus community.
I was impressed with the obvious dedication of the Committee members to their stewardship responsibilities for the Benefaction Fund at St. John’s. We have appreciated very much the special partnership activities we have enjoyed with St. John’s, especially over the past 3 years. God’s blessings to you and all the members of St. John’s in your ministry and service. Sincerely,
Rev. Dr. William Nelson University Minister
