Card Shower for Martha Richardson
Martha Richardson has been diagnosed with stage 4 uterine cancer. She hopes to start chemotherapy next week. To show our love, St. John’s is hosting a card shower for her. Please send all cards to Martha Richardson at
110 Lowman Home Barn Rd., White Rock, SC 29177.

Property Facilitator(s)
St. John’s is blessed to have beautiful facilities, and we need one or two facilitator(s) to help maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all. This ministry will focus on recruiting to get small tasks done and reaching out to vendors for quotes for more complex tasks. Please let Pastor Michele or a council member know if you feel called to serve.
