Peebles’ Farm

25179 North Street, Mooresville, AL 35649


Bring your dried-up Christmas greens, a dish to share, your favorite beverage(s), and a chair and gather for our annual Burning of the Greens! We’ll celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany by having a bonfire, saying Evening Prayer, eating yummy food, and just generally spending some time together.

Follow the tradition of chalking the door for Epiphany. Read all about it here.


Happy New Year!

The church office is closed on January 1. The Rector's Bible Study and Mid-Week Eucharist will not be held on January 1.

February 9th will be filled with tackles and touchdowns as the 59th Super Bowl takes place. But there’s something else you can tackle in the meantime: HUNGER! Did you know that 16.4% of Morgan County residents inexperience food insecurity?


That’s why – with the youth’s help – we’re collecting cans of soup for the CCC, NCC, and St. John’s own backpack ministry! Between now and Super Bowl Sunday (February 9) bring in cans of soup to help stock pantries in our community!


Cans can be left in the bins near the office. Thank you!
