All are invited to our annual Whitsunday services at St. John’s Ashwood! This year, we welcome Bishop John Bauerschmidt, bishop of the Diocese of Tennessee.
Following the service, we will proceed to the historic graveyard to pray over the Bishops’ graves and our monument to the enslaved Communicants whose artisanship and labor built the church, followed by a covered dish picnic on the grounds of St. John’s. If you plan to attend the picnic, please bring a dish to share so we will have enough food. St. Peters will provide fried chicken for all, as well as water, lemonade, plates, cups, and utensils. We also encourage you to bring lawn chairs and blankets to spread out for the picnic. The St. John’s Board will also provide portable restroom facilities. Invite your friends today!
Remember that there is no running water at the church and the only air conditioning is what passes through the open side windows. Please plan accordingly.
Please note that cash donations given at St. John’s will go to support essential restoration and maintenance for the historic church building and cemetery. If you prefer to give by check, please make it out directly to St. John’s, Ashwood. Thank you for your support to help us ensure that this cherished landmark of faith and architectural beauty will be part of our community for future generations.
