St. Mark's,
Gulfport, Miss Hurricane Relief
St. Marks, Gulfport was totally destroyed by hurricane Katrina
in 2005.
Since then, St. Johns Members have been very generous in their
financial aid and prayers for them.
St. Marks has purchased a piece of property further inland and
will rebuild there.
(They are currently meeting in a store front.....) They
will eventually use the old property for a homeless shelter and
other ministries served by the church.
In August of 2007, the women of St. Johns sent the funds from a
Sunday Bake Sale to the women of St. Marks for their
Ministries......With added funds collected from a church wide
donation we sent a sum of about 1500.00....This marked the
second
anniversary of the Storm.....Please continue to support St.
Marks in your Prayers and any way that you are able.

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Wrap yourself in St. John’s new, rapidly growing ministry.
Monday, September 15, 2008
10:00 a.m.
Al Durrance Room
|
Last year 58 shawls were given to the sick
and shut-ins at St John's, taken to the hospital and distributed
to patients, and given to friends that are sick or disabled
showing that they are thought of and cared for with love and
warmth. Join us the third Monday of every month at 10:00 AM in the
Al Durrance room. We welcome all who like to knit or crochet or
who would like to learn!
Please join us every 3rd Monday at 10:00 a.m. to participate in
this amazing outreach of love and compassion. Any extra yarn you
can donate is always appreciated and may be left in the church
office. You may contact Billie Craft, 392-3928, or Harriet
Schroeder, 632-9417 to learn more.
"Prayer Shawl
Ministry” provides shawls to the sick, shut-ins, nursing home
patients, etc. The garments are lovingly hand-made, prayed over,
and blessed prior to being given out. Experienced knitters are
especially needed, but anyone who wants to participate is welcome,
and lessons will be available.

Church
Periodical Club
SPEAKING
VOLUMES
The Church Periodical Club provides grants to individuals, congregations, and other groups in
this Church to assist them in purchasing written and musical
resources they could not otherwise afford. CPC serves new
congregations, seminarians
in other parts of the Anglican Communion, and ministries in this Church
which use English, Spanish, French and other languages.
Our Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop and
Primate, encourages us to take an offering on that day to
assist this ministry which brings the word to many who could
not afford to see it in writing. She asks us to
"please be generous."

Supper Groups
 Fall’s
Coming – and so are Supper Groups!
Get better acquainted with your fellow parishioners while enjoying
an evening of fellowship, fun, and great food. Sign up on the
Fellowship bulletin board. Call Joan or Bep Diemel (686-7401) for
more information.
After the 6:15 potluck dinner, you're invited to an
informal Eucharist at 7:00 p.m. in Elebash Hall. After
singing and the gospel reading for the coming Sunday is a
time of reflection and sharing on what the reading says
and means and on what invitation we hear from God through
it. After informal prayers and a friendly sharing of the
Peace, we gather around the Lord’s Table for Communion.
Nursery and supervised play for children through 5th grade
are provided.
Family night follows
immediately after the
children’s choir practice.
Greening of our Church
We strart with a chili dinner and
fellowship, then hang greens at the base of the church’s stained
glass windows, adorn garlands around the church doors and
rafters, and finally attach festive red bows to the draped
garlands and greens.
We’d love for you to join us..
