Collection Deadline is this Sunday, March 29.

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.

It is with great joy that I [Fr. Jeremy] announce Chadwick Becks has accepted the position of Sexton for St. John's Parish Church. He will officially begin duties this Sunday March 29. There is no replacing our dear friend Mark Hocutt or his ministry; however, we look forward to the new ministry Chadwick will bring in service, preparation, and willingness to facilitate this role with grace and aptitude. Please join me in welcoming Chadwick to the staff!

Additionally, we are eternally grateful for the service of so many volunteers these last two months in cleaning, preparing, set-up, take-down, and so much more. I want to particularly thank Lindy and Debbie Reynolds and Miles Hanckel for their selfless service at Resurrection Hall.  

We are looking to hire these staff positions: 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 working hard to keep our prayer list up to date. If you have added anyone to our short term, long term and/or military prayer lists, please contact Sally Dixon to give us an update. 

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

Ladies, join us for a six week study beginning Monday, April 13 in Resurrection Hall. We will be going through She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus by Rachael Groll. For more information, contact Sharon Hills. Please let Curry Smoak know if you need child care.

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. For more information contact Libby Puckette.

ARDF has a handful of trips coming up. Click the link below for a PDF with information on each one and how you might get involved.

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.   

The Lay Readers serve during our Sunday service as well as any other worship services we have throughout the year. Most Sundays we have two Lay Readers to read the lessons and psalm as well as lead us in the Prayers of the People. This ministry often goes hand in hand with being a Eucharistic minister to help with communion; however this is not always the case. For more information or to express interest in becoming a Lay Reader, contact Sally Dixon.

The flowers are given to the glory of God
and in loving memory of Benjamin R. Jenkins Sr.

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.
