Growing Disciples

Whether we are 33 with young children or in our senior years, we can all benefit from expert advice regarding end-of-life decisions. On Saturday, February 25, Yeamans Park Presbyterian Church will host “The Elephant in the Room” seminar. An expert panel will present information about the spiritual, legal, financial, funeral, medical, and caregiving issues that often arise at the end-of-life and offer advice to help us make the necessary preparations. Cost is $25, which includes lunch and all printed material. All are welcome!

To register, contact the church office at (843) 744-2268 or yppclynn@bellsouth.net.  

Our next gathering will be on Monday, February 13 at Ms. Rose’s in West Ashley.



Please contact Martha Trussell to reserve your seat (yppcmtrussell@gmail.com). Those who wish to carpool can meet in the YPPC parking lot at 11:30 a.m. that day.

Meeting Human Needs

Thank you from Presbyterian Disaster Assistance

“Thank you for making Presbyterian Disaster Assistance a priority out of many opportunities to give and serve. Your gift of $535 is perfect, a blessing from God above in a moment where it is most needed here below.”

Thank you from Hands of Christ

“Hands of Christ appreciates your support and acknowledges your gift of $2,422.04. The children we serve also greatly appreciate your generosity.”

Thank you from Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina 

“Your gift of $825 will be used solely to provide charitable care to residents who have outlived their life’s savings through no fault of their own, after years of living with us. As a ministry of Presbyterian churches in South Carolina to older adults, your congregation can take satisfaction in helping ensure that older adults such as these will continue to call Presbyterian Communities ‘home’.”

Our newest Mission Partner, International ABBA Ministries (I.A.M.) has bases throughout the Southeast and is headquartered in Charleston. Each base strives to provide an atmosphere of restoration and family for the homeless, poverty stricken, addicted, and oppressed. I.A.M. is currently housing 11 men in North Charleston and Ravenel.

International ABBA Ministries, led by Mark Van Allmen, has connected with another of our mission partners, Patriot Villas (PV), which provides housing for 74 homeless Veterans.

Mark and a team of volunteers from I.A.M. are getting to know the Vets at PV and intend to become a regular presence. They have been there several times serving hot drinks and homemade desserts, replacing old guttering, providing gloves and caps, etc. They will soon start a Bible Study for the Veterans, one of the many needs at Patriot Villas.

The I.A.M. team will be at Patriot Villas this Saturday, January 28, at 2:30. Among the things planned are a hot meal, haircuts, and a lot of interaction. If you’d like to meet Mark and the I.A.M. team and observe what they are doing to help the Veterans, or pitch in and help, please plan to stop by tomorrow afternoon. (Gary Page is planning to be there.)

Patriots Villas, located at 5043 Rivers Avenue, next door to Berlin’s Restaurant Supply, is only 3 miles from YPPC.

So far this month, we've received 44 boxes of Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix, almost a two-month supply. Thank you for for helping to replenish our shelves with this popular item!

Please be in prayer for our church leaders as they discern the ways that God is calling us to “glorify God, grow disciples, and meet human needs” together this year.
