9 things to do at SJN this month

1. Follow A Willing Witness on Facebook
   
   If you're not already following A Willing Witness on Facebook, visit our Facebook page and "like" us!
   
   
2. Fill out the Application for Ministry in eAppsDB
   
    Step one of the Ethics and Integrity in Ministry Training, required by many of our ministry opportunities, is to complete the Application for Ministry in eAppsDB.  There aren't currently any July workshops in English for part two of the EIM Training, but you can fill this application out in the meantime.  Keep checking the Diocese of Austin's Web site for upcoming trainings.
   
   
3. Complete a Gifts and Talents Survey
   
   This is so we are well aware of the many gifts and talents of our parishioners and can inform you when there may be a special opportunity for ministry involvement.  We do invite certain people to participate in ministry from time to time, and having your survey will allow us to see which of those opportunities might be of interest to you.
   
   
4. Introduce yourself to Director of Young Adults, Communications and Ministries Jen Crowley
   
   Establishing a relationship with me will help me to be more intentional when advertising the various ministry opportunities of our parish.  If I know you personally and where your interests lie, I will be able to better my matching gifts and opportunities skills.  Plus, it helps to further solidify our parish community by building relationships.
   
   
5. Check out and support one of our newest ministries, the parish Gift Shop
   
   Open Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, this ministry exists to provide easily accessible and affordable religious items to our visitors and parishioners.
   
   
6. Spend time before the Blessed Sacrament in prayer
   
   The Eucharistic Adoration Ministry enables us to worship the Lord in adoration on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.  While you're welcome to sign up to worship regularly on Wednesdays, feel free to drop in and say a mid-week hello to the Lord in our sanctuary!
   
   
7. Pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood
   
   Better yet, check out another new ministry, the Vocations Committee!  Their next meeting is July 15 at 7 p.m. in the church offices.  Their mission is to provide stimulus, resources and contacts for those interested in vocations to the priesthood.  If you can't join the committee at this time, please pray to St. John Vianney, patron saint of priests, for the Holy Spirit to guide them in their mission.
   
   
8. Pick up a home-cooked meal offered by the Mary and Martha Guild
   
   
9. If it’s too hot to cook, stop by the Morris Hall kitchen and select your evening’s meal -- home cooked without you having to cook!  Current offerings are King Ranch Chicken for $10, frozen cranberry salad for $6, tortilla soup for $6 and frozen apricot salad for $6   It’s easy as pie – make your selection and take it to the office and pay by check or cash between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.  
10. Your purchase will help support the 
11. Guild’s ministries!
    
    
12. Meet new Associate Pastor Fr. Adrian
    
    While it's not necessarily ministry-related, meeting our new associate pastor is an excellent thing to do in July!
