April Newsletter
Dear Friends,
As we enter the season of Easter, some have asked if I would discuss how to view scripture so, in these columns, we will be looking at how to read the Bible effectively.
We looked at some of the basics of the Bible and how to see the Bible in a larger fashion. The Bible is clear that it is God’s Word to us. It does not simply contain the Word of God. It is God’s Word.

Helping Hands
Helping Hands
Helping Hands is a twice-monthly event. Annette Sandell, Director of Christian Education, provides the materials and activities for items needed for Sunday School classes, church, and other seasonal events. These photos show the volunteers who are preparing the curriculum, folding bulletins, painting flower pots for teachers, and taking down the “winter” trees. Participants bring a sandwich, enjoy the provided side dishes as they enjoy lunch and fellowship while providing these much-needed services. Anyone is welcome to come to Helping Hands. Dates and times are listed on the church calendar.

Daytime Book Club 12.20.21
The Daytime Book Club read The Christmas Pearl by Dorthea Benton Frank.
With her truculent family gathered at her stately Charleston mansion for Christmas, 93-year-old matriarch Theodora is having a hard time tolerating the lot of them. Theodora hankers for her 1920s childhood, when Pearl, the family’s stern black maid, enforced strict houshold discipline and took no guff while working hard at Christmas, all the while singing gospel favorites such as Come en Go wid Me. When Theodora’s usual maid is called away, Pearl herself (as a ghost) blows in, ready to set the house in order, She unearths the antique cr?che and other Christmas heirlooms long buried, and altering the family’s general bad temper. Frank (The Land of Mango Sunsets) includes homegrown recipes that further sweeten this Lowcountry holiday confection.
