Jul 26 Family in Bethany, We’re looking for a few good men and women.  Christian soldiers are needed for a couple hours on the last Saturday morning of the month to help keep St. John’s in spit-spot shape so that our parish is always in a presentable condition for our fellow parishioners and our many visitors.  We march in the footsteps of Martha, Mary, and Lazarus whose home in Bethany was Jesus’ “home away from home”.  Our ministry meets at 9:30a.m. in the Parish Center.  We remind ourselves in Whose presence we’ll be toiling by starting there with a reading from the Scriptures and a set of mysteries from the Rosary.  If you’re looking for a way to get involved in your parish and if you can offer up the time, we invite you to snap to and join up with us at our next meeting on July 26th.  Contact Rhonda E. Green at 215-877-8540 for further information.
