    We visited to see an ancestor's grave, and the Church Historian gave us a tour.

    Old church with churchyard really very pretty. I spent the better part of an hour wandering around looking at things. They have several beautiful magnolia trees.

    During the long pandemic, Johns Island Presbyterian Church has been a beacon of hope. Through Zoom services and small meetings, we have been able to stay connected. Led by our pastor Dr. Laurey Harrell with the backdrop of our 300 year old Sanctuary, the sustaining thought of the endurance of this parish throughout years of hardship, wars and hurricanes reminds us that God is with us.
