July 4th Picnic!

Everybody knows just how much our Senior Pastor loves bowling. Our Revival guest speaker, Terri Steed, has been known to roll a ball or two as well. This Saturday, June 19th, we’re going to find out just how much fun a bowling party with all of Pastor B’s and Pastor Terri’s friends can be! The Party will be at the AMF Pleasant Valley Lanes from 1:00 until 3:00.

If you have not purchased a ticket for the bowling event, you can still join us. There is no cost if you are not planning to bowl. If you would like to bowl, the cost is $5.50 per game (each game approximately 15 minutes) and $4.50 for shoe rental.

The AMF Pleasant Valley Lanes are at 5501 Commercial Avenue in Raleigh. That is close to the intersections of Glenwood Avenue with Duraleigh and Millbrook Roads. Click here for a Google map and directions.

Even if you don’t bowl, this is going to be one of the most fun events of the summer. Come and share in the friendship and fun. But, if you’re a bowler, let’s see what you’ve got!

The Fellowship Team reports that the community contributed $417 to the Ministries of St. John’s MCC on Saturday, April 17th, through the efforts of the Spring Clean Yard Sale.

Thanks to all of the people who came and purchased items at the Sale, and thanks to the faithful Team of Volunteers who ran it so enthusiastically.

Tickets for the Belk Charity Day Sale are available at the Yard Sale, too! If you get to the church before 1:00 pm today, Saturday, April 17th, you’ll still find a bargain. Click here for more information.

So you’re cleaning your closets and storage areas of all of the STUFF that got there over the winter. Or maybe you’ve got Fall and Winter STUFF that you don’t have room to keep. Don’t throw it out! If it is still in reasonable condition, it could become someone else’s treasure.

Contribute it to the St. John’s MCC Spring Clean Yard Sale before Friday, April 16th. The Fellowship Team will get everything ready – with the help of lots of volunteers – and then all that STUFF will come out to the front yard of the house next door to the church early on Saturday, April 17th.

We are in need of donations from you. We are accepting items in good condition including furniture, books, CDs, shoes, videos, DVDs, electronics, coats, accessories, crafts, and most importantly clothes. Yes, this year we are accepting clothing in all sizes and styles from childrens’ to mens’ to womens’ as long as they are in good condition and clean. No undergarments please!

Please email Scott Driver or Tara Marten to set up a time to drop off your items or bring them with you on Sunday to drop off before or after service. You can also call the church office at 919-834-2611 to arrange a drop off time. All donations are tax deductible.

You can bring items as early as Sunday, March 28th. Get Scott or Tara’s attention, and they can be stored in the house until the big day.

All proceeds from the Yard Sale will benefit the ministries of St. John’s MCC. For questions about what you should bring, when you should bring items, and/or to volunteer to help with this year’s Sale, please contact Scott Driver or Tara Martin.

Thanks for your help!

On April 4th, immediately following the Easter Sunday Sunrise Service, the Fellowship Ministry is hosting Breakfast. This breakfast is free and open to ALL who come. Join us on Sunday, April 4th, at 6:00 am for the Sunrise Service, and after God feeds your spirit that morning, then let St. John’s feed your stomach and hearts with food and fellowship.

We need volunteers for set-up, cooking and clean-up starting around 5:15 am. If you would like to make a financial contribution, please mark your gift as “2010 Easter Sunrise Breakfast.” For more information or to volunteer to help, please contact Scott Driver or Tara Marten.
