Grandparents at Prayer (G@P) will meet this Sunday, October 19, at Resurrection Hall from 12:00 to 1:00 PM. We will have light refreshments as we begin this ministry focused on prayer and on passing the legacy of our faith to our children's children. We look forward to seeing you there.

Join us for Trunk 'n Treat, 5PM, October 26th, in the parking lot across from Resurrection Hall (1811 Paulette Dr. Johns Island, SC 29455). Come enjoy a family-safe environment with hotdogs, activities and treats for the kids. 

Want to decorate and host a booth from your trunk?  Or maybe you'd like to volunteer, but can't host a trunk? Either way, sign up on Sunday or email Rob Schluter. We're excited to have your help.

Our kickoff for the Operation Christmas Child international outreach program will begin this Sunday. Samaritan’s Purse sends gift-filled Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes filled throughout the country by folks like us to children in need around the world together with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We will have shoeboxes available for you to pick up at Haut Gap as well as information about suggested items that will bless the recipients! Boxes will be available in Resurrection Hall starting on Monday and at Haut Gap again the following Sunday, October 26 until we run out. Collection Sunday is November 16. For questions, please contact Libby Puckette.

Haut Gap’s Fall Festival is Friday, Oct 31, 8AM-10AM. We would love your help! If you can volunteer to assist or can donate a dozen donuts, please contact Lucy Jones.

On November 9, we are having a parish-wide lunch to celebrate how far we've come with the Higher Ground campaign. Following Sunday worship, we will head over to the Island Porch and enjoy a catered meal and some fellowship. All are invited at no cost to you, but we do ask you to RSVP by November 2 to ensure we have enough food for everyone.

Rockville Presbyterian is holding their annual Pig Pickin' Fundraiser. Eat in the Fellowship Hall or take out from the tent in the parking lot. Donations are used for local missions. St. John's Parish Church works with Rockville Presbyterian every month for our Second Saturday Workday.

Mark your calendars. The Feeding of the Multitude this year will be November 22, noon - 3PM at Berkeley Electric. We are collecting bags of groceries and will need volunteers to help on the 22nd. Click the link below for the list of items we are collecting for the bags.

We are excited to begin a brand-new Sunday School season with a curriculum lovingly crafted by the St. John's Parish Church Children’s Ministry Team. Drawing from both Ms. Pam’s lessons and God’s Big Story curriculum, our teachings will guide children through the major themes of the Bible in a way that is engaging and age-appropriate. In the weeks ahead, children will explore God’s Word through the stories of Noah, Joseph, and Abraham, discovering timeless truths along the way.

All children ages 0 through 5th grade are warmly invited to join us each Sunday during the service from 10–11 AM. If you’d like to volunteer or help introduce a new child to our program, please reach out to us at childrensministry@stjohnsparish.net.

We would like to honor our acolytes, who serve in our church and therefore serve our Lord Jesus. They are a huge part of our service on Sunday mornings and are vital to our worship. They invite the Lord into our worship with the cross of Christ, serve at the altar with Fr Jeremy, and lead us out “into the world” to carry on His work in our lives. We thank you for your dedication and faithful service.

Our Acolytes:
René Becks
Charles Becks
Amelia Blitch
Bailey Milleman
Caleb Milleman
Saxby Schluter
Abagail Schluter
Ben Shelton

Acolytes are an important part of the Sunday morning liturgy. They assist at the altar, carry the processional cross, light and extinguish the candles, and assist the priest in other duties dedicated to our worship services. Currently, we have eight teenagers who faithfully serve as acolytes. Please see Fr. Jeremy if you're interested in serving the Lord and the congregation as an acolyte. 

The flowers were given to the glory of God
and in memory of Mr. & Mrs. Oliver F. Seabrook
& Mr. & Mrs. Edward S. Bullock
by Mary Agnes & John Seabrook.

If you would like to dedicate Altar Flowers in 2025 in honor or remembrance of a loved one, please contact Sally at sdixon@stjohnsparish.net.

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.
