First, let’s celebrate re-birth. We have two dates for baptism planned. The first one is this Sunday, March 11. Baptism is the obedient action of making a public profession identifying you as a follower of Jesus Christ. It is a symbolic picture of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Whether we baptize one or a dozen, we celebrate the re-birth, those who have been born again. We celebrate with family and friends, Sunday School teachers and Awana workers; everyone who has participated in seeing someone accept God’s invitation to follow after the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a time to celebrate re-birth. By the way, we also have a baptism celebration planned for April 1, Resurrection Sunday, the ultimate story of birth and rebirth. If you would like to participate in the Easter baptism and have not had contact with the church office, please let us know by calling Neale at 843-762-0244.
Second, is the Lowcountry Pregnancy Center Banquet to be held on Thursday, March 15. Tony Evans is the guest speaker. This is a ministry we support. It is the celebration and recognition that life is sacred and every life is important. This ministry provides counseling, medical services and ongoing support to those who have to make choices concerning pregnancy and sexual health choices. We have had members who served as volunteers as well as members who serve as advocates for this premier ministry. Remember the banquet in your prayers. This is truly a time to celebrate birth!
Third, Pastor Sean and Susan will roll out the “Egg The City” mission this Sunday. I will be teaching on faith and they will be leading us in a major faith mission project. Imagine 3,000 acts of kindness between now and Resurrection Sunday/Easter! Hear the final details this Sunday and let’s get our hearts ready to “Egg The City”.
It is a season of birth and re-birth. By God’s grace, we are born and by His grace we are born again. Let’s celebrate His goodness in a way that makes a difference and leaves an impression!
See you this Sunday, good Lord willing,
Pastor Tom
