Blue Skies Ministries Offering Day Hikes

Blue Skies Ministries is offering day hikes through the winter for the members and friends of St. John’s.

The next hike will take place on Saturday, March 10. So far this year we have ventured to Mount Pleasant, Matt’s Creek Shelter, Three Ridges, Terrapin Mountain (possible future outreach project) and Rocky Row Run. We will have several hikes lined up and select the one that best meets the demographics of our group on the morning we leave. Possible hikes for March include the Devil’s Marble Yard (no connection to Lent); Cole Mountain; Cornelius Creek; and Spy Rock.

The outings have been inspirational, offering spectacular views, gorgeous stream/ water falls, and serenity. If you haven’t made it yet, know that the trails are very accessible to all ages, and equipment needed is minimal: (boots or sturdy shoes), small pack, water, lunch type food and possibly a walking stick.

We meet at the church at 8:00 a.m., carpool, and journey to the trailhead. Usually, we have lunch around noon either on a peak or by a stream and return to the church by 3:00. This month, we’ll park in the bank’s parking lot.

Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen? Never!

St. John’s kitchen has long been a hub of ministry, fellowship, and a LARGE measure of fun. From ECW luncheons to Pancake Suppers, many have contributed their gifts of time and talent to work and serve in food preparation and presentation. If you would like to continue the tradition, please sign up to help with the scheduled dinners and lunches. If you don’t aspire to“Emeril” status, there are many opportunities for set up, clearing, and cleaning.

In preparation for some kitchen updating, utensils and cookware are being inventoried and evaluated. Please check the table in the Parish Hall to reclaim lost or misplaced items.

Please contact Laura Rosser @ 384-7940 to secure a spot with this fun-loving group. Lunch helpers are needed from 11 - 12:15 and supper helpers from 3:30 - 6:00. All schedules allow for participation in the lunch time Bible Study and the Mid-Week Formation dinners. You may sign up for one meal, all meals, or whatever suits your schedule. Men, don’t be shy! You haven’t cooked until you’ve been with “Chef Michael” in the kitchen.
