Sack Lunch Relocation! Dear St. John’s Ministry continues to grow from the seeds that are planted at
our parish. In 1986, Mary Wise began bringing peanut butter crackers and Vienna sausages for our neighbors who knocked on the church kitchen door and said they were hungry. Soon several of the women in the church began making sack lunches for those who were hungry. The need turned into a small ministry. To accommodate the rising need, the first floor of the Secrest Building was restructured to make a Sack Lunch Program a daily ministry. The need has overwhelmed the ability of the space. Plans for a relocation began when the Community Rescue Mission purchased a warehouse and offered the SLP space to expand.
The new location offers twice the square footage, and is de-
signed with efficiency in mind. We are still located in our neighbor-hood at the corner of N. 3rd St & N. F St, and are blessed to continue to serve our neighbors who struggle with food insecurity.
This ministry, now serves nearly 50,000 sack breakfasts and
lunches a year, and is nothing short of an ecumenical wonder. There are over 300 volunteers, from 27 churches and businesses across the River Valley. When people see a genuine ‘heart of compassion’ minis-try, they go out of their way to participate.
We are excited about the next stage of growth for this ministry.
Thank you for being a part of this great harvest for this outreach pro-gram. If you are looking for a ministry to be a part of, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator, Jean Kolljeski at 479-252-1360.
Last, but certainly not least, we will have an Open House and
Reception for all volunteers, churches, donors/benefactors and
friends on Sunday, October 8th, 2PM-4PM at the new location! Blessings, Father Mike Lager

Buck-A-Book
For the third time, a need has arisen for our children’s books — both children and youth. Each time this occurs, more donations arrive to more than fill the need. The receipt of many boxes recently is overwhelming. We strongly suggest that our parents take advantage of this windfall and check out the selections in the Buck-A-Book room and in the Children’s Corner in the Parish Hall. This generosity only inspires us to work harder, knowing that this is truly “another God thing” with our book ministry. Thank you for your on going support!

“KICK OFF” SUNDAY ICE CREAM SOCIAL
Windows of Hope Jacob Repp, left, helps his father Van Repp with ICU Win-dow Cleaning prepare the Hope Campus, 301 S. E St., on Monday for the Sept. 29 opening. Services to be offered on the Hope Campus will include medical care, mental health care, temporary housing and food when needed, workplace readiness skill development as well as access to a variety of other needed social services for the homeless.

HOW WE SEE IT
The needy have options
The Next Step Homeless Services provides those in need with shelter, a hot meal, job counseling and other things too numerous to mention. Participants can even take classes on life skills and anger management. The Good Samaritan Clinic provides access to health care regardless of one’s ability to pay. There’s much effort going on within the local school districts as well to get hungry students fed. Children up to age 18 could drop by any elementary school within the Fort Smith School District (as well as many others throughout our region) to have breakfast, lunch or both for most of the summer. We learned last week about Spradling Principal Robyn Dawson, who, along with her husband, runs a food truck in order to make sure chil-dren get something to eat. A grant from Mercy has helped. And Dawson made sure breakfast and lunch were served at Spradling last week after the district’s summer meal program came to an end. Borrowed from SWTR
Church Offices closed for Labor Day
We will be closed on Monday, Sept. 4 to observe the Labor Day holiday. We will reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 8:30am. Have a great day!

Fifteen were present at the Laymen’s League’s August meeting to enjoy excellent fried chicken, a hash browned potato casserole created by Dave Arnold, baked beans prepared by Mike Orite and with ice cream for dessert. Bill Speer kindly set the tables. It was great to have Bill Chandler in attendance following his successful surgery. Harold Braswell provided the League’s current financial position. Doug Smith recognized Dave and Mary Ann for their 45 years of service to Saint John’s. Dave relayed news that the church is going to begin accepting offerings via electronic payments through credit cards, debit cards or Pay Pal. The men received an update regarding the Building and Grounds Committee’s current discussions with preser-vation architects to prevent further rain water damage and to guide repairs. Wi-Fi is being installed in the worship area which will enable ushers to monitor the security cameras during services and electronic enhancements during events. The next meeting is at noon in the Parish Hall on Thursday, September 28.

Velora “Vee” Chandler’s inurnment service will follow the Sunday service on Sept. 17 in the Columbarium Garden. Reception in the Parish Hall.
Attending the August Building and Grounds Committee meeting were: Pat Klahr- Junior Warden, Jean Koll-jeski- Senior Warden, Father Mike Lager- Rector, Becky Ibison, Lou Skeen, John Cross, John Dobbins. Pettus Kincannon, Steve Irby and Gordon Albritton- Sexton. Lou and Becky volunteered to repaint the church’s brown entrance doors. The fall campus-wide clean-up is tentatively scheduled from 9-noon on Saturday morning, October 14. Wi-fi coverage will be expanded from the Parish Hall into the sanctuary. Pat reported that Columbarium garden maintenance volunteers have been identified, including Susan and Gene McCluney, Karen and Mike Orite and Lee Cross; Karen will serve as the coordinator. Thanks for this support! Pat updated the team regarding selecting a preservation architect to define roof repair work needed to preserve the church. John Mott has been on vacation since his visit here but Pat contacted two Arkansas men whom Mr. Mott recommended and they will meet with Building and Grounds members here in early September. John described a church roof-top meeting with representatives from FSSI who patched some open flashing and valley areas over the built-up roof covering the pipe organ using EPDM tape; Brian Driscoll with the Ar-kansas Historical Preservation Program approved this action. A gutter scupper was found to be clogged and was cleared. EPDM tape will temporarily seal where rain water is leaking over the gutter’s edge and seeping into the interior walls. The next monthly Building and Grounds meeting will be at 4:30 PM on Thursday, September 21, in the Skin-ner Building.

Sack Lunch Fundraiser - at Ft. Smith Little Theater
St. John’s Episcopal Church is the home of the Sack Lunch Program (SLP), founded in 1986 by Mary Wise. Mary saw people in the area around St. John’s who were hungry. Distressed by this image, Mary brought crackers, cheese and small cans of Vienna sausages to give to our neighbors in need of food. This humble be-ginning of the Sack Lunch Program was created out of Mary’s love and care for our neighbors. Thirty-one years later, the SLP serves over 50,000 lunches a year. No one is turned away from the SLP win-dow. The simple motto is: If you are hungry, you will be fed! Please support the program with your contribution on Sack Lunch Sunday, September 24, 2017. All donations go toward the purchase of food and supplies for the program since the SLP is staffed solely by the help of 300 volunteers. Checks should be made to St. John’s Sack Lunch Program. On-line gifts are accepted by visiting: www.stjohnfs.org and clicking on “Donate to the Sack Lunch Program”. Thank you. Jean T. Kolljeski, Program Co-Director.

115 Pairs of shoes donated!!
Five bags of shoes were delivered to Trinity United Methodist Church in Little Rock. These donations will be con-verted to clean drinking water in parts of the world that do not have it. Beginning in November 2010, Ozark Water Projects, Inc. set up partnerships with many Arkan-sas entities to collect donated shoes of all types, sizes, and conditions. When 20,000 pairs are collected in their Little Rock warehouse, shoes are shipped to Miami where a broker pays 37ȼ/lb regardless of condition. All of these cash proceeds are
used by Ozark Water Projects to fund providing wells or purification systems in areas needing either, most often Haiti or Africa.
The Miami broker sorts the shoes and then ships them to countries whose populations need shoes where they are resold according to need, clientele, and affordability to populations who would not otherwise have access.
Karla Allen and her family started this pro-ject and she works tirelessly. Ozark Water Projects, Inc. will receive shoes from all entities wanting to participate. Want to become a Partner, contact infor-
mation is provided on their Facebook page or web-site: www.ozarkwaterprojects.org
Back Packs … … are “outward and visible signs” of the inward formation of students of all ages. It seems the thing to do as a sacra-mental worshipping people to highlight and ask God’s blessing and presence in our efforts. In our country, it is required of all people to spend 13 years of life in the learn-ing process. Not all children receive this privilege. In some parts of the world, only male children can access the edu-cation opportunities. It is a privilege that we have that most of us take for granted until later years. We can hone our gifts in higher education opportunities that equip us for becoming leaders and individuals who can make the world a better place in whatever niche we find ourselves. Our Sunday morning worship experiences are a “refueling” for the weekday aspects of life. We come to be refreshed, renewed, and reminded of our call to serve in the world as “pitchers pouring” out God’s love wherever we find ourselves. This year, HOPE, is our reminder token. HOPE can help keep each of us motivated and moving even when we face daily hardships and challenges. We can share HOPE with others. Our hope is in God!

OUTREACH
KAIROS … prison ministry REPORT BACK by Jeannie McCabe
His master said to him, “Well done, good and trustworthy servant(s) (St. John’s)/slave; you have been trustworthy in a few
things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your
master.” Matthew 25:21
Pictured—Over 100 packages of cookies from St. John’s were among the 1200 dozen collected. Team members (at letft) assemble with other volunteers to repackage the cook-ies into bags of an assortment of 1.5 dozen cookies for each of the 1,100 incarcerated women. ` Thank you for sharing your resources with those who have none!
KAIROS (God’s time) prison ministry is a reformatted expression of Cursillo: a weekend of intense teaching and sharing to equip individuals for living intentional, disciplined lives growing in a relationship with God within the Christian tradition. This is offered through a series of talks, small group discussions, creative responses, and singing. I became acquainted with KAIROS in the 80’s living in Houston, TX as a newlywed with my husband, Keith. He was invited to serve on a team for a maximum security federal prison. He continued to serve on teams as we moved from state to state … in Louisiana and Arkansas. I was active in the Cursillo movement and served on those teams. I was invit-ed several times to serve on Kairos teams but lack of calling and time availability prevented me from serving at those times. However, upon receiving a letter of invitation this past spring to serve on a team in June, I had none of the previous obstacles preventing from serving, and so I said YES. A team of 35 women met four Saturdays in April and May to prepare for a weekend to be held at McPherson Unit, one of two women’s units in Arkansas. As an ecumenical program, all denominational doctrine, dogma, and practices had to be stripped from the program elements. This distilled the offering to one of the “purest” presentations of the Gospel I have encountered. The core message was, “Listen, listen, Love, Love” … pretty basic!! Jesus’ message was about the unconditional love of God, acceptance, and forgiveness. We entered the unit on a Thursday afternoon. I passed through 11 check points … either gates, locked doors, or security stations before we reached our weekend “space” deep within the prison. Each of us team members was assigned one of the 30 women participants to mentor and welcome personally each day as we gathered. The team lined the hall-way and waited as the women were called from the 18 different barracks. We sang them in, welcomed personally each woman, and escorted her into the meeting room. We, the team, were given strict orders to wear colorful clothing to be easily distinguished from the “women in white.” Regularly, “counts” were made halting any and all activity as guards en-tered the room to take a head count. Introductions on the first evening revealed that we were all women who had families, children, spouses, ex’s, and life challenges. The main differences were that our choices had produced different sets of consequences. We shared sto-ries, joys, sorrows, regrets, and hope. I joined the “Cookie Crew” to deliver the bags of cookies to the rest of the prison. The prison is divided into four pods, each having five barracks connected to a security post like the hub of a bicycle with extended spokes. Bunk beds filled the barracks. A social space of tables with attached seats in front of a 24-hour TV prevented any silent time for sleeping. The women were extremely grateful for such an indulgent treat of cookies. Conversely, we were required to par-cel out toilet paper during bathroom breaks as participating women went to open hallway facilities with half-walls providing minimal levels of privacy. Any extra toilet paper found in their pockets was considered contraband and subject to punitive consequences. In our Baptismal Covenant, we commit to “respecting the dignity of every human being.” This rationing of TP called this in to question for me. I struggled with this and many other aspects of our punitive system. All women held jobs in the prison; some requiring them to rise at 4:30 am before joining us or reporting after 9:00 pm after we finished our day. Sitting in the room, I witnessed and experienced unity. Leaving on Sunday, I prayed, unity would prevail.
