Rector's Welcome
elcome
to Saint John's, a parish church in the Diocese
of Upper South Carolina. We belong to the Episcopal
Church USA, and are members of the worldwide Anglican
Communion. My hope is you will find this website as hospitable and
interesting as you would our church and all its members, were you to visit
in person. (To read the rest of the Rector's Welcome, click here. )
Yours faithfully,
J. Fletcher

Tenth Rector of Saint John's
Creating scrapbook
photo albums
of St. John's history
What are your favorite memories
and stories and pictures from St. John's? We need your pictures, memories,
and memorabilia to help capture the rich history of St. John's as we
organize and create scrapbooks and photo albums of our parish. Please bring copies of your photos, articles from newspapers,
old bulletins, etc. of any events from St. John's. Label the pictures
with as much information as you can provide - names, dates, event, etc.
- and bring the non-returnable items to the office. Do you have a favorite
story or memory of St. John's? Please write a brief description of the
event, what you remember and why it was so special and include any dates
or special notations about the event. Please remember to bring only
copies of items that will not be returned and to include your name and
phone number with all information. We need the material as soon as possible,
preferably during June and July so we can have books for the August
and September celebrations. Any questions please call Shelly Jones at
665-7255.
