Join us this Sunday as we welcome Bp. Thad Barnum as our guest preacher. We last had him as a guest preacher in February 2023, and he delivered an outstanding sermon.

We return Haut Gap Middle School for Sunday worship on August 24, and our services recombine into a single 10AM service.

The Rev'd Canon Dr. Sandi Kerner is offering a course exploring the healing ministry of Jesus in community at The Cathedral of St Luke & St Paul. The course will meet on Tuesday evenings starting August 19 - November 11. There is no fee to take this course, however a $30 suggested donation is welcome.

Each semester, as part of our domestic outreach, St. John's Parish Church has the honor of providing dinner for The Citadel Cadets at St. Alban's Chapel. This semester they asked us to host the first Monday chapel dinner of the year, with one of the largest crowds of the year in attendance. Click below to see how you can get involved with this ministry.

Our middle and high school youth groups will start back up from the summer break on September 7 at Resurrection Hall. Middle school youth will meet at 2PM. High school will meet at 3PM. For more information, contact Rob Schluter.

This summer, our preschoolers through 5th graders went on a wonderful journey through the Psalms - hearing the stories, memorizing God’s Word to keep in their hearts, and even learning sign language to express the scripture in a special way.

What's next?
We can’t wait to explore the creation story and other inspiring Old Testament adventures together.

We would like to recognize Pam Hanckel for her ministry to our children at St. John's Parish Church through teaching and by example. She radiates the love of Jesus and faithfully shares that love with our children on Sunday mornings. When seeds of faith are planted, lives are changed and a lifelong journey with the Lord is nurtured. Thank you for everything you do, Pam.

Blessing Baskets distributes about 400 government boxes of food staples to people on the sea islands, which come prepackaged with addresses. In addition to those boxes, Blessing Baskets packs perishable foods in bags to supplement the boxes and to give to people not eligible for government assistance. This is where we need help. Packing these bags is a huge undertaking from gathering, sorting, and packing the food into bags and its distribution. For more information, please contact Walt Miller or Heath Gunther.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Together we are united with the saints of the household of God; built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. In Christ alone our church is being joined together, and is growing into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. By Your wisdom may we discern what You want us to build; Through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
