KINGDOM OF GOD MINISTRY The Kingdom of God Ministry invites you to come and learn more about prayer ministry. We will be hosting 6 opportunities to learn how to deepen your prayer life - each lesson builds on the previous lesson. All are welcome. The sessions will include a 45-60 minute video followed by 30 minute discussion. There is a book to accompany the videos at a cost of $15. These will be ordered by May 15. Please contact Susan Caulder at 819-8727 (sec1023@comcast.net) for any questions or any of the KOG ministers (Nancy Strickland, Amy Alexander or Linda Shealy) Planned Dates: June 2, June 9, June 16, June 23, July 7, July 21 (10:45am - 12:15pm meeting place TBA)

FYI The green barrels behind the church are part of a Girl Scouts' service project. They meet at St. Mark on the first and third Thursday of each month, and it makes more sense to let the barrels stay here for a while than to haul them up and down the road. *****************************************************************

All Clergy and laity are invited to meet our Bishop and share with him some of your concerns, hopes and dreams. He will be at North Charleston UMC on May 19, 2013, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. Please make plans to attend.

RED BIRD MISSION TRIP Red Bird Mission Team members need to make their second $100.00 deposit by the end of the month, please. Please make sure you have sent in your medical forms.

WIGGLE BAGS Wiggle bags are available in the narthex for young children. There are coloring sheets that usually go along with the day's lesson and the season of the year and crayons. Children are encouraged to enjoy these during worship.
