Welcome to St. John's United Methodist Church
Our Mission at St. John's United Methodist
Church is to worship and serve God with Open Hearts, Open Minds,
and Open Arms. To respond to this calling, we will nurture each
other in the Christian faith, we will work so that all people can
experience God's love, and we will examine critically and respond
prayerfully to the difficult issues that face us.
CROP Walk Oct. 10
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.
