The 17th Annual Feeding of the Multitude will take place this year at Berkeley Electric Cooperative, 1135 Main Rd., Johns Island. Over 25 churches come together each year to serve people who have financial challenges. Our goal is that every family on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands will have a Thanksgiving meal, and each person will feel the love and joy of Jesus Christ.

Please drop off your bag of groceries for the Feeding at Resurrection Hall by 4PM Thursday, November 21.

Sign up after church with Meemee Williams, Nathan Gilkeson, or Claudia Boyce.

St. John’s Parish Church recently delivered Fall Jesus Bags to the Charleston County Juvenile Detention Center. The bags were full of toiletry items, snacks, and handwritten cards. Captain Kieviet Driskell received the items and expressed her gratitude, reiterating how much the juveniles appreciate the bags and love the cards. Many thanks to all our card writers.

Our children need your help. Sign up to assist our nursery and Sunday school classes. They're lots of fun and all the materials are prepared for you ahead of time. All you need to do is show up and have fun with the kids.

The Feeding of the Multitude is an annual event hosted by 25+ churches on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. We provide a Thanksgiving meal to people in need on Johns and Wadmalaw Islands. Our goal is to feed our guests both spiritually and physically, and to be instruments for the Holy Spirit to grow the Kingdom. The Feeding is a vehicle for us to serve our Lord as one church centered on Jesus Christ and to strengthen relationships with Christians from different cultural backgrounds.

You can help by serving as a volunteer, donating bags of groceries or financially to the Feeding, or serving on one of the prayer teams. Contact Meemee Williams, Nathan Gilkeson, or Claudia Boyce for more information. We invite anyone interested to join the FOTM team.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Together we are united with the saints of the household of God; built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. In Christ alone our church is being joined together, and is growing into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. By Your wisdom may we discern what You want us to build; Through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
