St. John's Welcomes
Music Ministry Intern |
St. John's welcomed William Douglas to the staff on October 1, 2011. William, a senior at Wilson High School, will serve as our Music Ministry intern.
Feeling a call to music ministry, William is on track to pursue a degree in organ performance. This internship will provide him a wonderful opportunity to explore his call to ministry. William will be directly involved in a variety of aspects of the Music Ministry at St. John’s. These will include, but not be limited to, playing the organ and piano for worship, singing in our choir, and helping with the children’s choir. This internship will also afford William the opportunity to participate in the day to day workings of all aspects of music ministry in a liturgical church setting.
We are delighted that William will be part of our ministry team for the coming year, and look forward to seeing how God will use this internship to challenge and encourage William personally and spiritually, as well as to bless our parish family.

St. John's parishioners are asked to reach out to those in need in our community by bringing non-perishable food items to church on the first Sunday of every month. Please place the items in the basket or barrel that you will find in the narthex of the church. Click here for a list of items that are especially needed.
At their core, hymns are prayers. Hymns also are excellent study tools. In addition to reviewing the lessons and collects in preparation for Sunday worship, consider studying the hymns, too. Click here for a list of this month's hymns.
Do you love to sing but get frustrated by the mysteries of music notation? St. John's offers a music-reading class on Tuesdays at 6:30. The class is geared toward church choir members, but anyone who wants to learn is welcome. This class is open to singers from any church in the Florence area. Call the parish office for details.

Over the past year, newsletter articles have recalled the history of St. John's 140+ years of mission and ministry. This glimpse into the parish's past provided examples of the hard work and commitment given to the building-up of the Lord's work by St. John's congregants from the parish's earliest days. In an effort to ensure that we have adequate and sound facilities for present and future generations to continue that strong commitment to the work of the Lord, the Heritage Fund has been established. Following is the introductory letter from committee chairs Angelyn Bridges and Dan Ervin that was mailed to parishioners in March.
