The altar flowers are given to the Glory of the Risen Christ and in Honor of all the volunteers who enhance the life of St. John’s by Don Alcorn.

Noisy Offering
The noisy offering collected today will benefit Lutheran Services Carolinas.

Roofing Project
Last week the congregation approved a project to replace the roofs on all three buildings as well as a plan to pay for this capital improvement. Mays Contracting of Newberry will perform the work.
Donations toward this project are welcomed to reduce the amount that must be funded from savings. Please note “Roofing Project” in the memo section of your check.

Easter Lilies
Thank you to all those who provided Easter lilies to beautify the chancel.

Pastor Michele will be on vacation from April 21 through 26, but she may be reached by phone in case of an emergency.
