All ladies are invited to join a powerful study by gifted author Beth Moore and walk the shores of Thessalonica with this verse-by-verse Bible study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians. During this nine week video series study, you'll learn how to let go of past mistakes and discover your circumstances are not coincidental-God's timing is impeccable! Whether you're facing family crises, medical diagnoses, relationship troubles, doubts, or fears, you'll come away encouraged that even though it may not feel that way, you are exactly where Christ wants you to be! 

This study will meet on Wednesdays in the Parlor from 1:00-2:30 pm. The video will be shown for the first hour, followed by approximately 30 minutes of discussion. The workbook cost is $16; make check payable to St. Philip's Church. 

To Register: Email Jane McGreevy, or call the church office, (843) 722-7734, to reserve a workbook.

Did you know that in 2008, only 5% of all missionaries on the field from all over the world had been there 25 years or more?

Last year a special gift was given to Suzy McCall, Founder and Spiritual Director of LAMB, by the LAMB leadership. It was their gift to honor her 25 years serving God in Honduras. She had always talked about having a prayer wall at the chapel at the God’s Littlest Lambs Children’s Home. The prayer wall has just recently been completed! It was built stone by stone over the course of many months by volunteers from mission teams. LAMB hosts at least 30 mission teams each year that come from many different states, primarily from the East Coast.

The Church of the Good Shepherd, or “Kitty’s Chapel,” was given by Charleston friend Son Trask, in memory of both his mother, Kitty Trask, and his sister, Kitty Trask Holt, whom many of us at St Philip’s dearly loved. This beautiful church stands tall overlooking a huge valley. It is the focus of LAMB’s calling to the children at the Children’s Home and not only in the obvious physical way.

Suzy envisioned the wall as a place where the children at LAMB could place their prayers between the rocks as our Jewish brethren do at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. It is now a regular avenue of prayers to God by the children, as well as staff and volunteers. I am so thankful to the Lord for this remarkable outward and visible pathway to His heart at LAMB.

Martha Vetter is leading a Bible study during Lent on Thursdays at 9:00 a.m. in the Parlor. Each week, different biblical symbols from the Holy Week narrative will be examined. These include the alabaster vase that was broken, the broken bread and poured out wine, the veil that was rent, the seed that was buried, and the stone that was rolled away.

Join us to discover deepened truths from these Lenten treasures!

Hey surfer dudes and dudettes!

Grab your Hawaiian shirt or hula skirt and join us as we catch a wave in St. Philip’s awesome VBS program, Surf Shack: Catch the Wave of God’s Amazing Love! The dates are June 19 – 22 and will run from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Join us Thursday evening (June 22) as we celebrate the end of VBS with a Family Fun Luau (details to follow).

VBS is for graduates of 6th Grade through graduates of 3K (your child must have turned 3 before September 1, 2016). Registration forms will be available online the first week of April. The fee for the week of VBS is $25 per child.

A VBS of this awesomeness will require many helpers before, during and after the event. Whether you have a special skill or talent, simply have a heart for children’s ministry or are just willing to do whatever is it takes to get the job done… we need you! A nursery for ages 3 and under will be available for volunteers and staff while you are volunteering.

Surf Shack: Catch the Wave of God’s Amazing Love is a VBS program that combines a colorful surf/beach theme with a solid theological background that emphasizes love, grace and God’s continuous presence. The Bible stories, the central part of Surf Shack, help students see God at work in their lives and experience the love of Jesus.

So…mark your calendars now, find your snorkel and swim fins and be ready to catch this wave!
