An Advent Season of Giving
Pastor Sheryl's Advent sermon series was entitled “Advent Conspiracy”. She challenged us to look deep inside ourselves and decide if we could do with less gifts and “stuff” this Christmas so we could help others less fortunate. The Mission Team thanks you for your support throughout the year, but most importantly during the Advent Season.

• $10,636 has been raised to date for the Ghana Water Project through St. John’s special offering! This will provide improved water sources to target communities, thus reducing their risk of water-borne diseases, improving the quality of life and relieving women and girls of long treks to fetch water. An additional $627 has been raised for the Lessie Bates Neighborhood House.
• On Thanksgiving day because of donated money, food, and time St. John's was able to feed 22 people at the Alton Salvation Army.
• On Dec. 5, several St. John's members gave up 1 hour of time and participated in raising money for the Salvation Army by ringing the bells at Shop 'n Save.
• Many, many gifts were donated to the Glen/Ed Pantry through the St. John’s Giving Tree.
• Due to donations of food and time, 20 people at the Alton Salvation Army were treated to not only a Christmas day meal, but also a breakfast.
• To start 2010 in a giving way some members of St. John's family fixed and served about 15 people at the St. Patrick's Center in St. Louis on New Year's Day.

Thank you for being a beacon on light to those who may not have had an enjoyable holiday season!
