A Prayer for Memorial Day
O Judge of the nations, we remember before you with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Grant that we may not rest until all the people of this land share the benefits of true freedom and gladly accept its disciplines. This we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Celeste Nalwasky has agreed to coordinate it, but she needs a group to set up tables and another group to clean up. Please contact Celeste to offer your help--843-838-4569 or

Next baptism is June 9
The next opportunity for baptism will take place at the 11 AM service on Pentecost Sunday, June 9. As Episcopalians, we believe the grace of a sacrament is not dependent upon our understanding of how or why that grace is bestowed upon us; therefore, the sacrament of baptism is available to all, regardless of age. If you would like to learn more about baptism for yourself or your children, please contact Rev. Roy

Love thy (pedestrian) neighbor
When parking on Paris Ave. on the block in front of the Center, please don't pull up onto the sidewalk. It causes pedestrians to have to walk in the street, which makes them unhappy.
