In-person Sunday School will begin again for our youngest parishioners on Sunday, August 15! We will resume our traditional format, gathering at the beginning of the 10:00 a.m. service in the Parish Hall. Children enter the church later in the service to join their parents for Communion. During Sunday School, children get a fun Bible lesson, work on crafts, eat a snack, and engage in other activities that strengthen their faith and teach them about their Christian heritage.

Stay tuned for more details on a big start to a big year at St. John's!

As you may have noticed, we have beautiful, fresh altar flowers once again and they need to be delivered to the sick and bereaved after their time in the church. The Pastoral Care flowers ministry delivers them after the Sunday service or on Monday morning. If you would like to be a part of this wonderful ministry, please call Miriam Faircloth for details at 352.3231 or 839.2838.

Our parish young people, along with our friends at Cornerstone Kids, had a great week of fellowship and growing in their faith at VBS last week! Thanks to our adult and youth volunteers for making it all possible. Check out more pictures on our Facebook page.

St John’s EYC has a new leadership opportunity! Beginning this fall, we’ll be starting a St. John’s Youth Council made up of Middle and High schoolers.

Youth Council applications will be available in the next few weeks, with a deadline of Sunday, August 1 to turn them in. If you are interested in applying, please contact Youth Minister Ayana Grady!

We are taking a break from our at-home Sunday School packets for the summer from June through August. We will be back to in-person Sunday School on Sunday, August 15!
