The Deacons are revising our Helping Hand Ministry, PAIL (Pregnancy
and Infancy Loss) ministry, and CARE Teams (i.e., helpers for those
in our church needing periodic but ongoing care). The
deacons want to appeal to the whole congregation to remember these
ministries in prayer and take part in one if God calls you to
help. 1) Helping Hands brings food to those who are
hurting/sick/grieving. Please contact Pam Helms
(803-479-7777). 2) PAIL provides a remembrance and care
service to those who are dealing with grief from the death of a
baby (in the womb or as an infant). Please contact Debbie
Yandle (803-707-5007,
[email protected] ) for further
information. 3) CARE Teams provide a knock on the door and/or
time to those who have continual health issues. Perhaps help
with errands, medicine delivery, etc. If you'd like to volunteer,
please contact Bill Bearden (803-379-7933,
[email protected] . All three of these efforts involve
modest work, are rewarding for those involved, and needed for
LMPC.
Three New Growing/Learning Opportunities this Lent 1) Lenten
Devotional- "Stories in the Dark" written by LMPC staff and some
new officers, illustrations by Lizzie Shepard. Lent is a time
to grow in remembrance, repentance, and renewal and a brief daily
devotional is a tool. We have mailed out copies to everyone
but there are extras online and hard copies in the office and
narthex. There are also children's devotional
books. 2) Lenten Study- Each Wednesday at 12:00 you can
join in Facebook Live as Dr. Sloan leads us through some Lenten
disciplines to strengthen us. 3) Music- Now that some have
had shots, we are beginning music anew. Each choir member
will be given a "singer's mask." Handbells meet Wednesday at
6:30; Men's Chorus will meet next March 6 & 13 10 AM for
singing 3/14. Ladies choir is also available (contact Janet
Roberts-Crump). We are also looking for musicians and
soloists. It is time to Sing to the Lord a new
song!
FOOD BLESSING BOX MINISTRY We have begun our
socially-distanced way of helping the hungry through our Food
Blessing Box. We are encouraging groups to sign up to fill
the box on Sundays. If your group would like to fill the box,
let Blaine Hill or Ben Sloan know or sign up on our SignUpGenius
page:

New Bible Study! Thursdays at 10:00 am, by Zoom. Contact Rev.
Blaine Hill for details. We start a new study of I and II
Samuel February 4th. Join us as we read all the drama of Saul,
Goliath, David. Marvel at their courage, self-destructive fury and
passion, faith and struggle. See the Lord’s care through a story
that is more dramatic than a mash up of Grey’s anatomy and
How to Get Away with murder. Do not miss it!
