EPWORTH IS OUR MINISTRY! Where do children go when DSS has taken them from their families because of abuse or neglect? What about when a mother is struggling with addiction and is neglecting her children? Currently, over 80 children call Epworth home. Each of these children have found refuge we share as United Methodists in SC. Epworth Children’s Home has been welcoming children in Christ’s name for 123 years through the generous support of churches like ours! We will participate in the annual Work Day Offering on Sunday, September 8th, to benefit the children who call Epworth home. Please be in prayerful consideration about what God is calling you to give to this valuable and life changing ministry.
