TRANSFORM A CHILD’S FUTURE

Each year, Epworth Children’s Home provides care to children in our own communities who have experienced abuse, neglect, and loss. Epworth’s care breaks the destructive cycle and encourages children to aim higher in life. The physical, emotional, academic, and spiritual care they receive transforms their lives. On Sunday, May 14th, 2023, our congregation will support Epworth by collecting the Annual Epworth Mother’s Day Offering. We invite you to give generously to the children impacted by Epworth’s care and programs. Epworth does not receive apportionments from the United Methodist Conference. This offering is our opportunity to support this vital ministry. For more information, please visit Epworth online at www.epworthchildrenshome.org.


Altar Flowers (WE NEED VOLUNTEERS)

At St. John, it has been our tradition to place fresh flowers or greenery in the Sanctuary. These flowers and plants remind of us of the beauty of God’s creation.

Flowers or a plant can be placed in the Sanctuary for anniversaries, birthdays, in memory or in honor of a loved one. The occasion of your loved one will be

acknowledged in the Sunday Bulletin. Or, you can simply give the flowers to the Glory of God.

Please contact the church office (803-663-7041) to sign up for a date of your choice. These flowers can be cut fresh flowers, arrangements from a florist or flower pots from your home.
