Men's Group Starts New Study

Men's Group Starts New Study

Starts TODAY

The Thursday evening Men's Group is starting a new study February 6 - March 20. Led by Sam Gervais and Heath Gunther, they will read through J-Curve by Paul E. Miller. 

The J-Curve maps the ups and downs of daily life onto the story of Jesus. It grounds our journeys, not in some abstract idea, but in union with Christ and his work of love. Understanding our lives in light of the J-Curve roots our hope, centers our love, and tethers our faith to Christ.

For more information, contact Heath Gunther.

Valentine’s Day Card Opportunity for Charleston County Youth Detention Center

Valentine’s Day Card Opportunity for Charleston County Youth Detention Center

While our big drive for cards is at Easter and Christmas, we wanted to let you know about this opportunity to send a Valentine's card to the youth in February. Children are welcome to take part by writing or drawing Valentines! Just remember, sign first names only or “a friend,” use print only and don’t seal the envelopes. If you do multiples, please rubber band them together before dropping them off.

Turn in cards to Chrissy Binz, Libby Puckette or the church office by this Sunday, February 9.  Any chance we get, we love for our parishioners to point these youths to Jesus Christ, so please join us in sharing the Good News with them this Valentine's Day. If you prefer to donate snack items for the bags, please contact Chrissy or Libby for specific needs.

Morning Prayer Stream

Morning Prayer Stream

"It’s very easy to wake up in the morning, get dressed, have a cup of coffee while we check the latest news, and immediately jump into our day. We often check our emails before we check in with our souls. What would happen if, instead, we started our day in praise and thanksgiving to God?" ~Rookie Anglican Guide to Morning Prayer by Jacob Davis.

Every Monday through Thursday at 8AM, Fr. Jeremy faithfully streams the office of Morning Prayer to our Facebook page. Come join him as we prepare ourselves for the day out of a place of worship.

A Prayer for our Parish

Dear Heavenly Father,

Together we are united with the saints of the household of God; built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. In Christ alone our church is being joined together, and is growing into a holy temple of the Lord by the Spirit. By Your wisdom may we discern what You want us to build; Through Jesus Christ our Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit,

Amen.
