Salkehatchie Summer Service Union Camp
Grace welcomes all the leaders and campers joining us today from the Salkehatchie Summer Service Union Camp. Rev. John Culp began this ministry to help those less fortunate and to enrich the lives of the campers. Campers and leaders will have pictures taken at the front of the church before the luncheon provided by the Adults Sunday School Class. The church office will be open Monday through Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM to accommodate any needs of the campers and leaders.
Guest at the Pulpit
Reverend John Culp will be our guest speaker at the pulpit Sunday, June 19, 2022 and will deliver our sermon. Rev. Culp grew up in Union and Grace UMC was his home church. His family has had long ties with Grace. When the church was being built, Benjamin Dudley Culp furnished the granite rock free of charge from his own private quarry. Thus, the church gave him the privilege of naming our church. He chose GRACE, saying, “she shall be called Grace and may she never fall from grace.” How fitting that Rev. Culp will be here on Sunday. He began Salkehatchie Summer Service over 40 years ago and has been a definitive reason for Salkehatchie’s success over the years. Please welcome Rev. John Culp when you have an opportunity to do so.
Graduate Sunday was May 22, 2022
On Sunday, May 22, 2022, we will observe Graduate Sunday. We plan to honor four Union County High School graduates: Maggie Berry, Mary Kathryn James, Alle Owens, and Carson Valentine. Four college graduates include Grant Harris, Bailey Long, Patrick Long, and Will Long. We will also honor three post-graduates: Blake Berry, Anna Kelly Heatherly, and Jack James. These proud graduates will receive Bibles or devotional books during our worship service. We hope to see everyone there!
Church Directory Planning
Please plan to have your family picture made for the new online church directory. There are currently four Sundays planned right after church so please select a date and sign up on the sheets available during the service or in the church office. You can also contact the church office to sign up for a time and date. We are looking forward to this opportunity to update our directory and encourage all families to participate.
EPWORTH IS OUR MINISTRY!
Did you know that in the last year Epworth Children's Home served over 1,000 children and families? Each of these children has this opportunity because of United Methodist churches in South Carolina who embrace and provide for this ministry in support of the children and families in our state. We will participate in the annual Mother's Day Offering was on Sunday May 8th, 2022 to benefit the children who call Epworth home, as well as each child and family touched by Epworth's ministries. Please be in prayerful consideration of what God is calling you to give to this valuable and life changing ministry. For more information about Epworth Children's Home, visit them online at www.epworthchildrenshome.org.
