Upcoming DeColores Weekends:
Applications are presently being accepted for Men’s

These weekends begin on a Thursday evening and end on
a Sunday evening. The Men’s DeColores Weekend is
scheduled for Sept. 23-26 and the Women’s DeColores
Weekend on Oct. 21–24. The weekend is an excellent
source of renewal and refreshment on your spiritual
journey. For more weekend information, including
location, cost, expectations, or to fill out an
application, please contact Becky Nickels at (734)
981-6831 or at

Gleaners Work Day: The kids
are back in school. Vacations are done. Do you have
half of a day to help hungry people? St John’s will
be going to Gleaners Food Bank on September 11th and
we could really use your time and talent (no talent is
really required). At Gleaners we sort donated food,
pack food into boxes or whatever else is needed that
day to help get food from their warehouse to the
people throughout our community who need the extra
help to put food on their tables. The signup sheet is
on the Sign-Me-Up! board. We leave St John’s at 8:15
a.m. and are back by noon. If you have questions, ask
Joan Besonen at 734-981-5098 or
gjbesonen@comcast.net.
Sunday Forum: As you know, the
Sunday Forum is the primary adult formation time that
concurs with the Church School program for children
and youth. I have begun to schedule topics for the
forum and am looking for ideas of things you would
like to see happen. If you would like to present or
teach, please contact me. I also need to hear from
Ministry Teams, especially Outreach, as to who would
like to present. Please contact me at
dmcglannan@comcast.net or 734-453-0190 ext. 11.
—Pastor Dorian
Join us Sunday, September 12 at 10:00
a.m. for the annual Homecoming Brunch and Ministry
Fair. Please bring finger food to share,
as we will be eating while we visit the tables at the
Ministry Fair. Check the Sign-Me-Up! board
for more details. We hope to see you there!
—Laura Good
Plant Caretakers still needed:
So far, we only have coverage for August
and September, so we’re still looking for a number of
individuals who are willing to each commit to at least
one month (or more, if you like) of watering duty.
Sign up on the bulletin board or by phone/email:
734-453-0190 or
cbyrd@stjohnsplymouth.org . Please consider
participating in this low-key, low-stress, perhaps
even meditative ministry. The plants will very much
appreciate it, as will those of us who enjoy their
presence.
