St. John the Divine will host a Red Cross CPR Workshop on Saturday, June 26, beginning at 9:00 a.m.

The workshop will begin with an introductory movie, which is part of the certification process. Adult CPR training will begin at 12:00; children's will be about an hour later; and infant CPR about an hour after that.

The AED will be demonstrated and its training will follow infant CPR. Actual training for it is brief, however.

The fees are as follows:
adult only--$35.00
adult, child, and infant--$45.00
adult, child, infant, and AED--$50.00

Pentecost is a Feast second only to Easter in importance. As always, we’ll read the gospel in as many languages as we can—a sign-up sheet will be available the Sundays before Pentecost. We’ll also be having our traditional and festive Pentecost Picnic, a potluck at Canterbury House. Get in the spirit and plan ahead to wear your favorite “red” outfit or accessory and bring your favorite red foods to share. Hot dogs and red drinks will be provided.

Our Eastertide meals in aid of the Millenium Development Goals through Episcopal Relief and Development have raised over $1,600. The cumulative total after this third round is over $6,600. We’re grateful to those who served as hosts—we keep hearing from everyone who attended what fine occasions they were.
