~Men's Ministry~

April 25-28, several men from St. John's Parish Church (with a few friends) went on a hike in the mountains of western North Carolina. We connected with each other and with God in very real and tangible ways.  We were able to disconnect from worldly concerns and focus on God's activity in our lives. 
We hiked many miles, through rhododendron glades, mountain summits, and river valleys...
and experienced every type of weather imaginable!  

We are in the process of planning the next men's hike (this fall).  If you'd like to be involved, please contact Fr. Jeremy for details.  frjeremy@stjohnsparish.net

"They have conquered Satan by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death." Revelation 12:11

Ordinations are joyful celebrations – and not just for those being ordained, but for the entire Christian community. We celebrate together the faithful response of an ordinand to God’s call, the setting apart for a particular ministry, and we pray together that the ordinands may be filled with grace and power as they are made a deacon (or priest) through the laying on of hands. Let’s fill the Cathedral on May 25!

 By the Grace of God
The Right Reverend Mark Joseph Lawrence
XIV Bishop of South Carolina
