The Living Gallery Drama

On Friday, April 18th (Good Friday) the youth group will be going to Bob Jones University, in Greenville to see a biblical drama.

This Easter, view Christ's sacrifice and triumph through the eyes of the Jewish remnant clinging to the promise of the coming Messiah. The drama is set in Jerusalem in 586 BC. Babylon has conquered Judah, destroyed Jerusalem and taken many prisoners. Their kings have failed to protect their nation and turned away from their God, Jehovah. Their priests have practiced idolatry in the Temple. The Jewish remnant long for the perfect king and the perfect priest, the Messiah, to free them from oppression and restore true worship.
  • The bus will leave at 4:00pm from the St. John’s parking lot, and return at 11:00pm. 
  • Bring money for dinner (we’ll eat on the way there), and wear Sunday attire.
  • 14 tickets and bus seats are available. Contact Ann Ruderman, if you are interested: aruderman@sc.rr.com

SAVE THE DATE! – Living Gallery
Living Gallery at Bob Jones University on April 18th at 7:30
Have you ever seen a work of art that looked so real that the characters almost seem to breathe? In Living Gallery this is no longer just your imagination—the people in the larger-than-life paintings, sculptures and stained glass are real.
The unique Living Gallery program combines original drama, special choral and orchestral arrangements, and breathtaking live portrayals of classic works of art to celebrate the story of Christ’s Resurrection.
A team of talented artists and technicians spend hundreds of hours putting together the sets, costumes, makeup and lighting needed to create larger-than-life artwork depicting the life of Christ. When it all comes together with live models, the effect is breathtaking.
Be challenged and inspired by the drama, uplifting music and living masterpieces that make up Living Gallery, an Upstate Easter tradition since 1998.

Departing St. John’s  4:00pm will return to Columbia after the show.    Dinner in Greenville
Dress is Sunday clothes.                                                                    Cost is $5 plus dinner money

Happening Weekend- March 14-16




Happening is a weekend event for youth in grades 10-12 which is focused on encountering Christ within community and learning how to strengthen our relationship with Christ and each other. The weekend is structured on a program which is governed by the National Happening Committee. Each diocese with a Happening program develops its own local flavor and traditions. Each weekend is basically the same program, with variations due to the individuals who make up the team. One only “makes” one Happening weekend, but can participate as a team member on subsequent weekends.

The Happening Committee, which is a sub-committee of the DYLC, oversees these weekends. Those serving on this committee, youth and adults, must have attended a Happening weekend. The Rector and Big Brother/Big Sister and the most recent past and future youth and adult leadership are members of this committee. This committee meets before each weekend to select leadership for the next event and to evaluate the previous event. They also make policy decisions and set dates for subsequent meetings, weekends, reunions and staff training days.
