The Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost – August 25, 2024
THANKS FOR GRACE…
Welcome Pastor Becky Albright
Thanks be to God for Becky Albright as she returns to lead worship today. Pastor Albright has not been available to supply at St. John’s for some time because she has busy in her role as the General Presbyter of the Charleston Atlantic Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church (USA). This position is similar to what we call Bishop of the Synod. We are grateful to have Becky with us again today!
Welcome Visitors
If you are a visitor to St. John’s this morning, welcome! Please let us know who you are by signing the fellowship book found on each row of chairs.
In the Narthex, we have a St. John’s coffee mug with information about us that we would love for you to take home. Thanks for worshipping with us today!
