Plaster Repair Fund
As Charles Dixon shared in his Leadership Board Report to the congregation, we had a large, unanticipated expense for plaster repair, much of it resulting from roof work and leaks over the years. The total project expense was $24,900. In response to the need, members of the Leadership Board have contributed $11,295.
Now we need your help with the remaining amount.
Please consider making a special donation to this project. You can give by check or online, please make sure your giving is designated to plaster repair.
Your giving to this project will help to ensure that our facilities are here for the St John church family and our visiting community for years to come.
Wesley Woods Mother’s Day Offering
The Wesley Woods Mother’s Day offering provides critical funding for charitable financial assistance with housing and meals, pastoral care, and wellness programming to older adults living in a Wesley Woods community. Please give online at wesleywoods.org/donate or place a check in the offering plate with Wesley Woods designated on the “for” line.
Special Annual Conference Offering
Bishop Robin Dease has named Murphy-Harpst as the 2024 North Georgia Annual Conference Special Offering.
You are invited to give towards the offering until Sunday, June 9th.
Over the last 100 years, Murphy-Harpst Children’s Centers has provided hope and healing to hundreds of Georgia’s children.
