Dear Friends,
This is the view from my favorite swing at James Island County Park. The sandy trails offer their travelers the opportunity to enter into the salt marsh without sinking in pluff mud. However, if you get off the trail, you risk landing in a sticky spot. They are the only way through.
In this week’s “I Am” statement from John’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” When I think about following Jesus as the Way, it can be a bit like traveling this path. You are sometimes surprised by twists and turns, but you can trust that you will make it to the other side if you just stay on the trail. I hope you will join us Sunday as we travel this Way together.
In Christ,
Rev. Cameron Smith

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!

Visit our Lenten "I Am" Prayer Stations | |
|
Each week during Lent, we will have an interactive prayer station set up outside Fellowship Hall focused on that week’s “I Am” statement from John’s Gospel. During Holy Week, we will set all seven stations up in Classroom 1 for you to visit during office hours to reflect on the ways that Jesus has revealed himself to us throughout our Lenten journey.
Special thanks to our Children's Sunday School Class who put together this past week’s “I Am the the Good Shepherd” prayer station and to creator Jane Hulme who made the “I Am Prayer Stations” template available online.

Help Us Welcome Our Cub Scout Troop this Sunday!
Each Sunday afternoon, a large group of Cub Scouts meets upstairs in the Youth and Ministries Building. This Sunday, we will welcome them in worship and hear more about what they do. After worship, they will join us for a special time of fellowship with cotton candy, snow cones, and popcorn on the church lawn.
The Scouting program at YPPC is more than just an activity for youth to learn about the outdoors. Scouting provides for fellowship and training to youth in our community. It emphasizes honesty, self-reliance, and respect. Through a year-round program, it affects character, citizenship, and personal fitness.
The success of Scouting depends on our volunteers, who serve in a variety of leadership roles so that young people may benefit from the Scouting ministry. As the Boy Scouts of America celebrates its anniversary, we salute the splendid volunteers who serve as Cubmasters, Scoutmasters, Venturing Advisors, and in other positions of leadership..
Cub Scout Pack 468, led by Cubmaster John Haymaker, consists of 24 Scouts divided into five Dens: Lions (K); Tigers (1st grade); Wolf (2nd grade); Bears (3rd grade); Webelos (4th grade); and Area of Light (5th grade). The Cub Scouts participate in Toys for Tots, Scouting for Food, and other community service projects throughout Hanahan.
Pack 468 meets on Sundays at 4:00p.m. upstairs in the Ministry Building. They would like to invite you and your family to be a part of their program. Contact Cubmaster John Haymaker at 843-801-4681 for more information.

Our Mission Partner, ABBA International Ministries, will be at Patriot Villas, this Sunday, March 26th to minister to the 74 Veterans who call Patriot Villas “home”.
There will be grilling, smoking Boston butts, haircuts, and worship. It you would like to help, set-up will start around 2:30. Serving the meal will start at 3:15, followed by worship.

(Several members of Mission and Outreach will be in attendance.) This is an amazing ministry that is doing so much to help the Veterans, in addition to all the work they are doing for the homeless.
