Mentors are assigned astudent with whom to eat lunch at school once a week—a thirty-minute obligation. The benefit is a supportive, encouraging adultpresence in the life of a young person who needs it.
Are you interested in this kind of service? A recent informational
meeting at Lake Forest Elementary has garnered some newmentors for our neighbors there. If enough John Knox membersindicate interest, we can host an informational session here atthe church.

Save the Date: Women’s Retreat 2019We’re shifting the focus of this year’s women’s retreat and designing a more personalized experienceby emphasizing the importance of creativity and self-care to our spiritual growth.As women, our thoughts and actions are almost solely focused on those around us. We nurture, caretake, plan and stress over our loved ones. We are the task master, counselor and rock for whicheverything and everyone relies on. But without care and attention, even the strongest of foundations willcrack.At our “Faithfully Creative” women’s retreat, we’ll connect with our inner artisan as we learn theimportance of creativity and self-care as a spiritual discipline. Through breakout sessions and smallgroup discussion you’ll have the opportunity to learn new techniques to inspire and feed your soul inways that bring you closer to God.Please mark your calendar and join us on Saturday, February 23 for a day of enrichment and growth.Childcare will be provided. More information will follow in the coming weeks.
