Would You Like to Help Rev. Smith with her Doctoral Studies? | |
|
As a part of her program at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary, Rev. Smith will need 4-9 members of the congregation to serve on her “Congregational Resource Team.” This group will provide local perspective, support, and encouragement throughout the program. In addition, they will help her develop a doctoral proposal and project. They will meet 6-12 times a year, primarily via Zoom, and will discuss at least one book related to Rev. Smith’s studies each semester.

Communications Committee Help | |
The Communications Committee is seeking a member/friend of the congregation to work with Paul Ogle, our webmaster, to keep the YPPC website up to date.

Making a difference - in the Lives of Hanahan Residents | |
|
In 2017, while looking for ways to expand the reach of our Food Pantry in the community, Stated Supply Pastor Art Gatewood had a great idea. He suggested that we provide food boxes for the police officers to keep in their patrol cars in the event they encountered people who did not have enough to eat. Hanahan Police Chief Dennis Turner readily embraced the idea and soon, the Hanahan PD signed a partnership agreement with our church!
Five years later, that partnership is still in place. We provide bags for families and emergency bags for those experiencing homelessness, and the police department makes requests when more bags are needed. This partnership is a win-win: It helps the Hanahan PD carry out its mission statement…. “to enhance the quality of life within the City” by being sensitive to the needs of the community, and it helps YPPC “meet human needs.”
We’ve recently received a request for more bags. If you would like to help make a difference in the lives of our residents, you can do so by volunteering to shop for the ingredients or pack bags in the pantry. Please contact Carolyn Lackey at (843) 452-4492 or carolynlackey@comcast.net to sign up.

Current Covid Guidance
Our Covid Protocol level remains at Yellow - CDC Risk of Spread - Moderate.
This is based on CDC's revised Risk-of-Spread Metric. In this system, a low risk of spread is green, a moderate risk is yellow, and a high risk is red. The risk level for each county will be posted each week and that will determine the Safety Protocol level we will follow. Our tri-county area currently is at Green (low risk).
Masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer will remain available to anyone who would like them.
