For more than 35 years, CROPWALKERS have been walking with the world. The CROP walk is an ecumenical event that raises money for local food programs as well as global communities which need all their basic requirements of food, clothing, shelter and water met because of drought, flood, poor water supplies or poor soil. The people of St. John's have an opportunity this year, again, to participate  in the Lubbock CROP Walk.  Come rain or shine, this soon-to-become annual event will happen on Sunday afternoon, October 10, at 2:00 p.m.  The 5-K (that's about 3 miles) walk will begin and end here at St. John's.

Organizers of the event have set a goal of 100 walkers and $2,000 to help hungry people in Lubbock County and in countries around the world.  Twenty-five percent of the money raised this year will stay here and provide much-needed funds for the South Plains Food Bank.  Everybody at St. John's can help with this effort -some can walk and some can donate to support the walkers. Others can come out on Walk Day and send us off and cheer us on. There will be more about how and who the CROP walk helps and how you can help CROP.  Janette Scott is leading the planning team in this effort.  For more information or an offer to help, call Janette  at 368-5373.

You may know that St. John's is a Reconciling Congregation, but do you know how we came to make that decision? This booklet will give you the history and the background on the now 10 year old decision to become Reconciling.
