Sunday afternoon, October 25, was our first Drive Thru Trunk or Treat! Pastor David, Sue Keith, Tommy Bishop, Sally Summers, and Karen Hibbard enjoyed visits from the cutest “spooks” ever as they rode through our driveway and received generous treat bags of candy and toys! Much appreciation goes to our church family for donations of candy, toys, and prizes. Also, thank you to David and Sue Keith for all the fall decorations.

November is Loyalty Month. It reminds us of our promise to give our best to Jesus. What is God asking of us? We are to consider our promise to support Grace with our tithe and gifts to continue our mission in 2021. Please be in prayer about your contribution.

Sunday, October 11, 2020 Philippians 4:1-9 "True Joy in Life"

I believe Paul must have known what 2020 was going to be like. He offers us a wonderful reminder that regardless of our circumstances, we are to have JOY.  Click on the web-site link to watch the sermon.  

October 11 Virtual Sermon

Grace is glad to welcome everyone home to in-person worship in the Fellowship Hall beginning Sunday, October 18, 2020. The double doors next to the kitchen will be the only entrance open and they will open at 10:30 am before the 11:00 am service. The service will last 30-40 minutes. The guidelines for attending the service are outlined on the web-site on the Events page and at the end of the October newsletter.

There will be no Sunday School or other sponsored in-person activities at this time.

Philip Arnold is taking pre-orders for trees and wreaths again this year. The trees come in different heights and the wreaths are all the same large size as last year.  Orders can be made until November 1, 2020. Don’t wait until it’s too late! These trees and wreaths are very nice.  To order, contact him at 803-530-3827 or email at tparnold@charter.net.

Please share the Secret Santa application with any families that may need assistance.  You can find the application info on the web-site Events page. 

Philippians 3:1-14 "Rise & Shine: The Wake-up Call"

As we think about goals, Paul tells us that before his conversion his only goal was to persecute anyone who was of the Jesus sect, and he was extremely successful. Thank goodness for God’s awesome wake-up call that changed Saul to Paul.

Sunday, September 27, 2020 Philippians 2:1-13 Emptying Ourselves to be Filled with Christ

Click below to see the Sept. 27, 2020 Virtual Sermon 

https://studio.youtube.com/video/kJMIIhmqcYg/edit/basic

Paul reminds of that too many times we are so filled with ourselves that we can’t see beyond ourselves. He reminds us, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” Wow! We might think he’s hitting below the belt, but whatever it takes to get our attention, so we live more like Christ, we need it. As Christians many people are listening to and watching us. Who do they see? Our responsibility is to allow God to work in us so we can live out His good purpose and others see Him and not us.

When our extremely talented Organist and Choirmaster, Tommy Bishop, told us that this past Palm Sunday was his first Palm Sunday in 44 years that he had not played "The Holy City" or "The Palms," we had to correct that. We hope that these selected Palm Sunday songs provide you a bit of comfort and peace on this Maundy Thursday. Please click the link below to see the video.

A reminder to support Judd's Legacy as Allison and Brandon Gardner continue to bring awareness of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy to expectant mothers and healthcare providers.  Plans are to have a day in the fall where everyone wears their shirts to honor the memory of their son Judd William Garnder.  Shirts can be purchased from the church office or by signing the order sheets at the Welcome Center.  Cost is $12-$15.  Make checks payable to Grace UMC and designate for #juddslegacy.
