Sr Men's Breakfast
8:00 am, monthly
church
Leader - Reese Plickebaum

Senior Men’s Group meets the last Wednesday of each month and has breakfast. Anyone is welcome to come and join us. Twice a year we try to have an afternoon lunch and invite our wives or girlfriends.
Some of the activities in which the group participates are:
Providing free breakfast for the church once a year
Assisting with the church cookouts
With Darol Holsman’s guidance, making minor repairs and cleaning up in the kitchen and other areas of the church.
Over the years, we have given money to youth groups, those going on mission trips and also the Nomads. At Christmas we buy several items from the wish list on the Christmas tree. We also send out cards to those who are ill and in the hospital.
There are no dues. The money we use is the money we make from our monthly breakfast offerings. That’s right, there is no charge for our meals, and it is strictly a free will offering. Pay what you like, if you can. We do have a few people from other churches that attend. If there would be an interest in having a Saturday morning men’s breakfast, let the office know and we will see what we can arrange.

Playgroup
9:30 - 11:00 am
church & various locations
Leader - Jennifer McClure
   

Calling all moms of infants, toddlers or preschoolers! Are you looking for opportunities to help your child develop social skills, gain independence and build self-confidence? Are you seeking fun and free activities to do with your children? Are you interested in connecting with other parents of young children and forming friendships of your own in a nurturing, Christian environment? Then this is for you!
St. John’s Playgroup is open to all, regardless of church affiliation! We offer a casual playgroup that meets each Wednesday. However, many of us arrive late and/or leave early. We generally meet in the Big Room or on the playground at St. John’s. Sometimes we schedule fieldtrips, and during the summer we meet at area parks as the weather allows. Playgroup members take turns bringing snacks for the group, and everyone brings their own drinks.

WOW
9:30 - 11:00 am
church
Leader - Pat Umbaugh

The WOW ( Walk on Water) Small Group meets every Wednesday from 9:30 —11 am in Little Mary Lounge. We are a nurturing group concerned about all things that God has entrusted to us.
Currently, WOW is studying Caring for God’s Earth, edited by J. Richard Peck. This book is organized into the seven units of The Natural World section of the Social Principles from “The Book of Resolutions of The United Methodist Church, 1996.” Our group discusses how these resolutions are observed or not observed and utilized or not utilized in our world today. Then we discuss if there is something that we as a group or the church as a whole can do to take better care of God’s earth.
The next book our group will study is Saving God’s Green Earth by Tri Robinson with Jason Chatraw. This book is about rediscovering the church’s responsibility with regard to environmental stewardship.
The group has several projects in the works to help with the environment. Some of them will involve St. John’s, including an EcoMoment in “The Reminder.” WOW not only studies the environment, but we are also concerned about our fellow man. We will be making dinner and serving the residents at the Salvation Army in Alton on Thanksgiving, and we will be asking other groups to help, too.
If you are interested in joining us on Wednesday mornings, just come at 9:30 am, or give Pat Umbaugh a call.

Quilting for God Group
6:30 pm, bi-weekly

Leader - Jenice Belling


 "And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90:17
We gather on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month from 6-8pm, in Room 105 (Little Mary). Some of us bring sewing machines and some of us just bring our needle, thread and thimbles. Together, we join as a group to create quilts for our St John’s mission teams to take to those in need of warmth, be it physical or emotional. This group is open to anyone that would like to share their gift of sewing (yes, men too). Beginners are very welcome, we will teach you as God has given us the ability to share His beauty through the work of our hands.
Please join us!
