Newborn Kits
What is a Newborn Kit?
Newborn Kits are given to new moms in developing nations when they deliver their babies at a hospital. This incentive has been very successful at getting expectant moms to a hospital, so their babies can be delivered in sanitary conditions.
Our goal for 2025 is 600 Kits. Throughout the summer we will be collecting items for Newborn Kits. The greatest needs are:
– Onesies (preemie, newborn, of 0-3 sizes only)
– Receiving blankets
– Ivory bath size soap
– Monetary donations (to purchase cloth diapers.)
Donations may be placed in the blue bin in the Donation Location in the Fellowship Hall.
Assembly of the kits will be July 22, 2025, at 6:30.
Golf Ball Fundraiser
Thanks to an amazing donation of gently used golf balls, we will have golf balls available for purchase until we sell out.
Sleeves of four golf balls are $5 per sleeve. Options are all white or random logos.
Contact Stephanie or make your selection from the sleeves available in the St. John’s gathering space.

We will gather outside for worship at 9:00 a.m. The annual meeting will follow worship, at 10:15 a.m.
