Sixth Sunday after Pentecost – July 5, 2026
THANKS FOR GRACE…
Interim Pastor Sean Miller-Perez
Thanks be to God for Pastor Sean who will be our interim pastor. Pastor Sean will not only lead us in worship and other pastoral duties, he will also guide us through our transition toward our next called pastor
Children of Farmworkers’
Education Program
Thanks be to God for almost a month of busy activity in the church building and playground. The annual YMCA sponsored and SC Department of Education funded school program for children of the farmworkers who have been picking vegetables on Lady’s Island has ended. What a great way to live out two of our core values:
We serve and help our neighbors, community, and those who are in need
We are boldly generous with time, talents, space, and our resources.
