That's right, we are looking for a few good women to teach Judo to. It's a great work-out, and we will give you some very good skills for the workplace. Come learn Judo at Saint John's Lutheran Church on Tuesday and Thursday evenings 7:00-9:00pm. Check out our church web page at http://www.stjohnsayville.org/judo or call Joe Schneemann at 631-579-0391, or email him at senseiyukidaruma@hotmail.com.

FELLOWSHIP SUNDAY - Join us on Sunday, June 2nd for our annual Fellowship Sunday. On this weekend, there will be only one service, at 10:15am (no service on Saturday night either). The service will be held in the gym so that all may fit comfortably. Immediately following the service, we will have a church picnic across the street. The church will provide hamburgers, hot dogs and all the condiments. Members are asked to bring a side or dessert to share, drinks for your family, as well as lawn chairs. Games will be set up at various spots including badminton, croquet, wiffle ball and even a horseshoe tournament. Hope to see you there!

The BOARD OF CHURCH LIFE is looking for volunteers to serve on a Social Media Committee. The goal of this committee is to enhance the churches ability to reach as many members as it can by using the many forms of communication available. We hope to recruit some technically savvy individuals of all ages to help us in this endeavor. If you are interested in helping, please contact Jim Farrell (tatatuma@aol.com) or Libby Hintz (libbyhintz@gmail.com).

ALTAR GUILD NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Now that we will be returning with an additional service on Sundays in late summer, the Altar Guild can use a few more hands to help set up for each of the services each weekend. This only requires you to be available for one weekend every 12 weeks or so and usually only one service each of those weekends. Preparing the altar is simple, you will be trained and guided through the process and the actual work involved doesn't take much time at all! Please consider joining the Altar Guild. Contact Jan Panarese at 567-4835 or 312-6778 (cell) or email jan711@optonline.net.

Dear Thrivent Members,
I wanted to write a note to let you know that Thrivent Choice seems to be working well for St. John's. Money from this fund was used to update our video ministry. Please take a look on the web site www.stjohnsayville.org and click on Video ministry. Thank you to those who have chosen St. John's as their Choice Dollar destination. We will try to continue to use these gifts wisely and to notify you of areas that we have benefitted from your donations. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 631-567-8913.

JACOB'S LIGHT - We continue to collect batteries and deodorants for our service men and women. There are many people in various parts of the world that are still in need. Many receive nothing from home. Please help and pick up a deodorant and/or 4-pack of AA batteries when you do your weekly shopping, and drop the items in the box in the Narthex.
