Hello Family,
Below is an email that Ashley Jaillette sent to request your
service during the Welcome Back Sunday meal. Please, please, please,
consider attending and helping this program go off without a hitch. I
would remind you that we aren’t the only people being asked to serve, but that
all committees and guilds that are a part of the St. John’s family are being
asked to help as well. Welcome Back Sunday begins at 10:15 am, but we ask
that you arrive at 9:00 am if you are willing to help.
Thank you so much,
I know it still may seem far off but I wanted to send out
an email to our youth asking for their participation in Welcome Back Sunday.
St. John’s has tasked the Connections group (those in their 20-30’s) with
heading up and recruiting help in all aspects to ensure a successful Welcome
Back Sunday. I will try not to beg, but I ask that you all would consider
working with our Connections folks the day of the event to deliver food to our
tables and make sure the event goes smoothly on that end. For those of
you that may be unfamiliar with Welcome Back Sunday, it is normally held the
second Sunday in September and is the kickoff return to three services, restart
of Sunday School, and Wednesday night programs for the fall. This year,
we will have a large family style breakfast and food will be walked from the
kitchen to your designated tables. We basically need “servers”. It
would be awesome if I could get at least 15 people to commit. The labor
element would be very small and you would be working alongside our connections
folks. We would ask everyone to arrive at 9am on September 8th so once
the 2nd service starts report to the gym and we will assign tables
and fill everyone with more specific details at that time. The breakfast
will end about 11am in time for the third service. I hope you would
consider helping us. If you would let Chad know in the next week or so if
you would be available and willing to help I will get the emails of those
committed and probably group you with someone from our group. Thanks in
advance for any consideration you could give this. We would really
appreciate it!
Thank you!
Ashley Jaillette
