Seventh Sunday of Easter – May 17, 2026
THANKS FOR GRACE…
Send a Kid to Camp
Thanks be to God for those who continue to support our children with their generosity in giving to the Send a Kid to Camp fund. This year we have seven youth and four adults attending Lutheridge. We have three youth and two adults attending The Dwelling. If you haven’t given a Send a Kid to Camp gift yet, there is still a need and time to do so.
OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE…
Family Promise Meals
May 19 & 22
Family Promise is a ministry which provides support for families who have lost their homes and are working to get back on track. St John’s will provide meals which are delivered to the Family Promise day center in Bluffton or the shelter in Hardeeville. If you would be willing to help by preparing a main course, two sides, or a dessert, please contact Perry Dukes at 843.592.1998 or at
pedukes@gmail.com. Perry also needs volunteers to help deliver the meals.
