Pray for St. John’s, John’s Island This Sunday
We’re asking all our churches to include St. John’s in their “Prayers of the People” this Sunday. July 17 is their first Sunday meeting at Haut Gap Middle School.
A standing room only crowd filled St. John’s Walton Hall for their July 10 service, the final one held on the historic campus and the day they said farewell to their beloved rector the Rev. Dr. Greg Snyder (who had served the parish for 20 years) and his wife, Beth. Fr. Greg preached, acknowledging his own grief, admitting “I don’t like this,” and encouraging those present to admit their feelings, “When you stand before a loving God be honest about how you feel.” He didn’t stay in that posture though and told them, “When God’s people have been willing to sacrifice, great things happen… on the other side of this you are going to see marvelous things.” Listen to the sermon.

In Aug, The Rev. Dr. Greg Snyder, Rector, St. John’s, Johns Island & his wife, Beth Snyder, Assistant to the Bishop & Event Coordinator for the Diocese, will be moving to Knoxville, TN, where Greg has accepted a position at the University of TN. They will be sorely missed! #ADOSC pic.twitter.com/RZVVTfflSY
