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.

PLEASE NOTE: This study will take a recess during Tea Room and Holy Week, but will resume on Wednesday, April 19. If you are unable to join the study for the first meeting today, you may still register and begin the study when it resumes on April 19.

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

We have been working to introduce Water Mission with our Haiti mission project through La Gonave Haiti Partnership. Last week a meeting was arranged between David Inman, Director of Central America & Caribbean Programs for Water Mission, and Kurt Swensson, Chairman of Water Resources Development for La Gonave Haiti Partnership.

A strategic plan is being developed to design a clean water plan for all partnership villages on the island. The first effort will be to evaluate an existing well at the St. Francis compound in Anse-a-Galet to determine if it can produce sufficient water to serve the needs of the compound so that the operations there, which support all mission trips to the island, can have independent access to clean water.

Join Gloria Kwashi, wife of Archbishop Ben Kwashi in a one-day gathering and annual meeting.meet our new leadership; join in fellowship and worship.

From Gloria’s book: When Ben Kwashi proposed to Gloria, he wasn’t expecting to find himself the father of more than 300 children. But she wasn’t expecting to have her first home burnt down, to have all her belongings eaten by rats, or to be savagely beaten and raped by men sent to murder her husband. She had chosen the name Gloria when as a girl born in a ditch, she decided to follow the one born in a stable and dedicated her life to bringing him glory. Little did she know what that would involve!

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!
