The Sixth Sunday after Pentecost – June 30, 2024
THANKS FOR GRACE…
Children of Farm Workers’
Education Program
Thanks be to God for almost a month of busy activity in the church building, playground, and picnic shelter. The annual YMCA sponsored and SC Department of Education funded school program for children of the farm workers who have been picking tomatoes on Lady’s Island will be ending this week. 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.
