Flower and Cleaning Charts
The flower and cleaning charts for 2025 are posted in the narthex. Please select the dates when you would like to take advantage of these opportunities to serve.

Prayer List
The prayer list was refreshed. Please send an email to the church email at office@stjohnsirmo.org or place a note in the offering plate to add someone to the list.
