Your continued support of the Mercy Bags Ministry is making a difference in our local community. In March, we were able to provide 22 Mercy Bags to We Care for their mobile delivery in Newberry, Whitmire, Prosperity, and Jenkinsville. Please continue to support this ministry through a designated monetary donation, shopping for meal items or helping to pack food for the Mercy Bags after worship on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month.

Posted April 3, 2024 By adminFriends,
The Most Needed Items for April are a little different. Instead of food, this month we are asking for non-food items like cleaning supplies, toiletries and paper products. These necessary items cannot be purchased with food stamps, so there is no help for needy families even though these items are obviously essential. We SO appreciate you helping us secure our supplies so we can give generously to those in need.
Bless you!

Posted February 16, 2024 By adminOur Congregational Care and Discipleship Team are committed to help and assist our members with any needs that they may have. As Jesus shared in Matthew 25:40, “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it for me”. As disciples and members of the Congregational Care and Discipleship Teams, we are here to serve, to assist, and to care for one another. Have you had these thoughts?
• I wish I had someone to call to pick up and deliver my medication today.
• It would be great to have someone to drive me/us to my/our doctor appointment or to another appointment.
• I need an errand run, who can I call?
• I wish I had someone to talk to.
• I would love to have someone from the church visit me.

Up And Going
Posted November 6, 2023 By adminThe Up and Going gathered in the Fellowship Hall at 10:00 am on Oct 12, 2023, for devotions given by Team leader Helen Lindler. The devotions were based on Paul’s directive instructing us to be compassionate towards others and ended with a prayer. We then headed by cars to Shealy’s BBQ in Batesburg-Leesville for a delicious lunch as only Shealy’s can prepare. After a long, leisurely lunch with desserts, it was time to go shopping; And shop, we did. We only shopped at two stores; time permitted. An hour plus later, we headed for home. We were so blessed to have enjoyed the day with thirteen guests and members.
Our love and prayers go out to Mrs. Ann on the death of her son, Bert.
The Nov meeting will be our Thanksgiving Luncheon. A list will be posted. Please bring three items for the Mercy Bag Project.
