We are excited to share that this Sunday, September 7, St. John’s Parish Church will celebrate Sunday School promotion day and will honor our Sunday School children (Pre-K through 5th grade) during the 10:00 AM worship service at Haut Gap Middle School.

Parents, please bring your children at 9:45AM to the Sunday School classroom hallway at HGMS. We will have a special procession of the children and teachers into worship.

We look forward to celebrating our children as a church family on this special day. Thank you for helping your child take part in our Lord’s Children’s Ministry program at St. John’s Parish Church.

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

Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in participating in a GriefShare group. Keep your eyes open for an announcement with details on when the group will meet. If you are interested in participating in a GriefShare group and haven't let us know, please email Sally Dixon or call the office: (843)559-9560 as soon as possible to let us know. We expect it to run from mid-September to early December.

GriefShare is a safe place where hurting individuals can find hope and healing after the death of a loved one. It is a seminar/support group ministry designed to be lay-led, and it consists of videos, discussion time and participant workbooks that guide group members through each session.

Dear grandparents of St. John's Parish Church, you are needed. September 7 is Grandparents Day, but there is much for us to do in addition to celebrating.  

Please join Fr. John and Patti Sosnowski, Jeff and Nancy Lamberson, and Dr. Thomas and Libby Puckett on Sunday, September 14, at Resurrection Hall. We will gather at 12:00 noon for a light lunch and to discuss how we can pass on the legacy of our faith to our children's children and beyond. See Deut.4:9 for God's plan for Grandparents.

Please RSVP to Sally Dixon, (843)559-9560 by Wednesday, Sept. 10.

Join in fellowship with other women as you walk through life's complexities. Registration is open for the study of “I & II Peter”, by Joanne Ellison. Classes begin on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - 9:30am to 11:30am

Save the date, Sunday, October 5 at 5PM, for a liturgy of the Blessing of the Animals at Resurrection Hall. We will have treats for pets and humans alike. This is a great opportunity for fellowship for the whole family.

Group leaders, please remember to check with Sally Dixon to get your group's meeting on the schedule before advertising it to your group. We have limited space and need to be extremely intentional to avoid scheduling conflicts. Thank you.

The dinner for St Alban’s Chapel this past Monday was a huge success. In addition to the side dishes of macaroni & cheese, green beans and coleslaw, the drinks and delicious desserts, we fed over 170 pounds of BBQ to over 250 hungry Citadel Cadets.

A huge 'thank you' goes out to all who participated in the dinner preparation and service—from purchasing ingredients to preparing sides, smoking meat and serving the Cadets. There are so many people involved in the process that if we started listing names, we’d surely leave someone out—so it goes without saying that the people of St. John’s Parish Church are fully invested in supporting this ministry. Again, thank you for your support and participation.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry provides hand-crafted shawls to give comfort and warmth to those experiencing illness, sorrow, need, or distress. We also provide baby blankets to celebrate the newly baptized. Makers pray as they create the shawls and blankets, which are then blessed by our clergy.  

If you know someone who could benefit by receiving one or if you are interested in joining us, please contact Susan Neville or Polly Sosnowski. 

The flowers were given to the glory of God
and in memory of our parents,

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.
