Leadership needed: Feed the Hungry has an opportunity for you to 'walk the talk.'
Needed are new board members to help guide the program through changes that will help assure that this program will continue for the next 20 years. The expectations of commitment are to attend the 5 bimonthly board meetings, respond to emails seeking opinion and guidance of ongoing projects, actively lead a special project or hold a governing position, work 2 Sundays a year with FTH. Voting for board positions will be held April 24. Please talk with Phil Wallace for questions or if you are interested.

A Prayer for a Time of Transition:
Almighty God, we pray that the power of Christ’s love may be present in our lives as we, the people of St. John the Evangelist, enter a time of prayerful discernment and transition to new leadership. May the Holy Spirit illumine the hearts and minds of those who have the responsibility to lead us as we prepare to build on the vision that is before us. Let not the prospect of change be an occasion for fear and confusion, but rather a time to build trust and increase understanding that Christ’s love may be made known between us and among us that your will may be done. Amen.
