So, What's Next?


So what’s next? It is always the question on my heart and mind. What is our Father doing and how may we join Him? You may or may not know that God has allowed us to join Him in a significant ministry of recovery. Sunday evening Celebrate Recovery is growing to record levels. We are now offering ministry on ‘Sunday nights to preschoolers, children and youth. Children will be involved in Celebration Station and Youth will be following Life Hurts/God Heals. Both are designed to help strengthen families. Right now, we offer the only Transition House that I know of in Charleston. The need is great. We could fill another house if we had one. The only other Transition House closed down while they regroup and retool their ministry.


We currently have two new residents at the Transition House. They will have four children between them. We might just leave the number at two for the time being. Our Recovery Team offers their services and ministries to other churches and organizations, seeking to go where our Father is working.


What is He doing in your Connection Group? I love knowing that our groups are outward focused, seeking to take the Light of Christ to areas of darkness in our communities. If your Connection Group needs help finding a ministry or knowing where to get started, please know we stand ready to help. Our prayers and commitment are yours for the asking. We might currently be planning some mission work that would interest you and your group. Perhaps the Florence Crittenton Home, literacy mentors at Murray-Lasaine Elementary School, volunteering at James Island Outreach, the Transition House families, Lowcountry Pregnancy Center, etc. We will be glad to help you discover where you can plug in. Ask your Connection Group leaders how you can help.


You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine that the world may see your good works and give glory to our Father in heaven.

Wednesday Night

This Wednesday night, I will begin a study on the book of Romans. This will be a trial study. If the attendance warrants, we will continue. If not, we will go back to a video driven Bible Study that does not require an additional 8 hours of preparation. If you are interested in this study of Romans, join us in the Library/Conference room on Wednesday evenings, 6:30-7:30.
