Farewell to Reverend Kendell L. Healy
We would like to thank Pastor Healy for his service and outstanding leadership at St. John. He has been a blessing to our church, and we thank God for sending him to us.
The musical talents that he and Evelyn shared with the congregation were true gifts to us during his tenure and were deeply valued by all. We are grateful for the work he did to prepare for Sunday sermons that were filled with God’s word, often using sermons to teach us things we did not know.
Pastor Kendell Healy’s last Sunday will be June 16, 2024.
Please plan to wish Kendell and Evelyn well and let them know how much you appreciate their service to Graniteville.
We love you Pastor Kendell Healy and we pray for God to continue to bless you.
Sincerely,
St. John Graniteville SC
