Please note, we will be recognizing Birthdays and Anniversaries this Sunday instead of the last Sunday of the month since the last Sunday is Palm Sunday. 

As we continue through Lent, please remember to pray for your Lenten Prayer Partner, then on Easter Sunday, let them know you were their prayer partner.

St. John’s Parish Church has a special partnership with Charleston County Juvenile Detention Center. This partnership includes providing Jesus Bags filled with toiletries, snacks and handwritten cards of encouragement throughout the year. It’s time for the Easter Jesus Bag Collection. These bags are a true blessing to the youth, ages 13-17 years old,  housed at the Detention Center. Many have no access to toiletry items and receive no visitors. A quick stop at the Dollar Store along with a simple Easter card of encouragement can make a difference in their lives. Please consider participating. Thank you for your prayers for the youth. Click the link below for a detailed list of collection items.

We are thankful to once again have been given permission to park in the grass lot across from Resurrection Hall. When using this lot please be sure to park in front of the wooden barriers which indicate parking spots. Please be sure not to park in the gaps between so as to allow access to the far side of the parking lot.

Join us for a time of fellowship as we fold Palm Crosses for Palm Sunday. We will meet at 10AM, Saturday, March 28 in Resurrection Hall. No experience needed.

We are looking to hire a handful of staff positions: part-time Church Sexton, Youth Ministry Intern, and paid part-time Nursery attendant. If you or someone you know are interested, click the link below for more information.

We are looking for volunteers for Haut Gap’s Spring Festival, Fri. April 3rd 1-2:20pm. This event rewards students who have shown top notch behavior and assignment completion. If you can’t volunteer, but would still like to help, we also need snack size chips or candy. For more information, please contact Lucy Jones: lulie413@yahoo.com

The Girls' Morning Out Bible Study (GMOBS) will resume April 14, 9:30-11:00AM in the library at Resurrection Hall. We will read and discuss the Psalms and spend time in conversation and prayer. All welcome to join us.

Join us April 18, 2026, 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM, at the new Seacoast Church on Johns Island. This will be a powerful time of teaching by Joanne Ellison, worship music led by Christal Brown Heyward and fellowship with women from seven local islands. St. John’s Parish Church is sponsoring the event, but the planning committee includes women from many Island churches.  Cost is $25 per person. Click the link below to register.

As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, we begin to think of Easter, spring cleaning, planting, gardening and… hurricanes!  Hurricane season officially begins June 1 and ends on November 30 and will be here sooner than we would like.

Currently we have an active group of parishioners who are experienced in disaster recovery...

We are holding first communion classes for children in first through sixth grade during the Sunday school hour on March 15, March 22 and March 29.  Fr. John Sosnowski will lead these special classes, guiding our children in understanding the meaning and purpose of Holy Communion.  This is a wonderful opportunity for learning and spiritual growth.  All children in grades 1-6 are encouraged to attend these three important Sundays of instruction and fellowship.   

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 are given to the glory of God.

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.
