St. John’s will be collecting non-perishable food. Please bring your offering to church on Sundays and place it in our Wagon in the Narthex. This is a wonderful opportunity for our children to give to others.

We are also looking for a coordinator for this Outreach project.  Let us know if you can help.  For more information please click here contact Clark Cromwell

Our next-door neighbors need our help. They are looking for volunteers who are willing to visit with residents who do not have family or friends close by. The act of someone coming to their room and talking with them, reading a book, or just being there can mean so much to them.

If you are unable to visit in person but would like to help in other ways, you can check out their Amazon Wish List. 

If you would like to volunteer please contact Nick Lyons at nick.lyons@johnsislandpa.com.

*Please note proof of COVID-19 Vaccination and TB Test is required.

The Johns Island Meals on Wheels needs drivers to deliver meals. Meals are picked up at Our Lady of Mercy on Bohicket Road at 10:30 am. There are two delivery routes.

The Blessing Basket delivers food once a month to the Rural Housing located across the street from St. John’s Episcopal Church.

They are also looking for drivers to deliver food to shut-ins on Johns Island.

If you are interested, please contact Pat Cline: patcline@earthlinnk.net.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry, led by Susie Jenkins, Karen Poehling, and the Pastoral Care Ministry, creates handcrafted shawls, quilts, and blankets infused with prayers and blessed by a priest. These items are given to those in need of comfort during medical procedures, illness, recovery, or loss, as well as to celebrate milestones like marriage, childbirth, or starting college or military service.  

To date, the ministry has crafted 16 shawls, 2 quilts, and 1 newborn baby blanket. All are welcome to join in creating these meaningful gifts. Supplies, such as yarn and knitting needles, are available.  

For more information or to request a shawl, contact Susie Jenkins (843-830-5256), Callie Walpole (843-607-4591), Peggy Gervais (843-830-4504), or the church office (843-974-5593).

"Working Together for Lasting Change"

Every Fifth Sunday

The best way to share our blessings is to be intentional about it.  We intentionally remind everyone about the important work done by Episcopal Relief & Development. Please make checks payable to ERD and place them in the offertory plate or drop by the office.  Thank you for your continued support.  Together, we are creating real and lasting change for the people of the world.

We are looking for members of the Church Community to mentor students (Specifically Young Men).  The goal is to mentor students in leadership and behavior skills that can better them in the classroom and in life.  Students will participate in sports with their mentor to build a foundation.  If interested, please reach out to: Reagan_Price@Charleston.K12.SC.US

This dedicated group delivers flowers each Monday to people connected with St. John's Episcopal Church. The church staff provides a list of individuals who may need a pick-me-up or a thank-you. The group buys flowers, and participants in Respite Care at Walton Hall arrange them into bouquets. Deliveries are usually made in person, but sometimes flowers are left at the door with a voicemail to let the person know their day is being brightened. If you would like to be a part of this outreach, contact Peggy Gervais at pbgervais@aol.com. 

In collaboration with Kim Saffer from Grace Church Cathedral, we prepares meals for Citadel Cadets each Monday during the school year. The ministry offers home-cooked meals, Bible study, and religious services under the leadership of Lester Pitman and Rev. Rob Donehue. Contact Maureen Ray at drstevenray@comcast.net for more details or to offer assistance.

St John’s has increased the support for this organization. The response to the “Christmas at Sea” effort more than doubled and the total number of boxes for 2024 was 58 gift boxes, all nicely filled and wrapped. We also had a fun tour during the Christmas season and brought gifts to the newly reopened Hugh Leatherman Terminal. The Seafarers Ministry is looking for new volunteers and if you are interested, please contact Clark Cromwell.

Join us each Tuesday for lunch and fellowship after the noonday Holy Eucharist. All are invited.
