Easter Day Fellowship at Old Sheldon Church Ruins

Hey all!  Join us for another Easter day of fellowship at Old Sheldon Church Ruins.  We’ll meet after the second service for a covered dish picnic, Easter egg hunt for the little ones, and a chance to make some new friends at the ruins.  It’s so lovely this time of year!

What you need to bring:  chairs or a picnic blanket; a covered dish to share and a dessert of some sort; drinks for your family; an Easter basket with at least a dozen eggs with non melting, non choking candy for each child who wants to participate;  bug spray just in case; a camera; any friends you’d like to invite.  We’ll have plates, napkins, utensils.  We’ll have the resurrection eggs to use with the kids.  If older kids would like to bring frisbees, corn hole, whatever…feel free.  Please note that the closest bathroom is about 3 miles away at the Family Dollar at Gardens Corner.  We’ll plan to eat at 1:45.

If it rains we will celebrate at our own homes 🙂  Pray for a cool sunny bug-free day! And prayerfully ask God who you might invite; an older couple whose children are grown, a new family in our church, military singles, etc….And feel free to forward this email

Directions to Old Sheldon Church:

Take Hwy 21 all the way out to the traffic circle at Gardens Corner.  Go through the circle to the left which will put you on Hwy 17 going south.  Be careful merging into traffic here, but stay in the right lane because you will take the first right, Old Sheldon Church Road.  Go about a mile and you will see the ruins on the right.  There is a field to park in across the street.  It’s a very busy street, so HOLD CHILDREN’S HANDS as you cross to the ruins.

Looking forward to celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior!!! If you have any questions, text Zoe Howard 843-271-7014 or Gaye McNair 843- 441-2084  or sgmcnair@gmail.com

Dear Friends,
We have an opportunity to take action in the fight against abortion.  A dear friend of ours is heading up a bill to put the question of abortion on the SC ballot .  We are being asked to travel to Columbia to help represent this effort and we would like you to join us.   Below are the facts and by going to the link provided you can register.  Each person/family will need to call their representatives prior to the 16th to set an appointment to let your physical presence and voice be known on this issue.  We are planning on taking our family and attending.  Below we have listed the facts on the issue and an email Lawson received with the link to register and learn more.  Please feel free to call with any questions.
Under the Mercy,

FAQ

What is the South Carolina Personhood Project?

It’s an effort to place a question on the ballot in November, 2016, that will allow voters to amend the South Carolina Constitution to extend legal protection to preborn persons beginning at conception.

What is the process for getting that question on to the ballot?

Two-thirds of South Carolina state Representatives and Senators have to vote for the respective bills (Senate, S719, House, H4093) that have already been introduced to place this question on the ballot.

What does the question say and how will it amend the SC Constitution?

The question will ask: “Must Article I of the Constitution of this State be amended so as to add Section 3.a. to provide that the privileges and immunities of citizens of South Carolina and the United States shall not be abridged, so that no person shall be deprived of life without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws. These rights shall extend to both born and preborn persons beginning at conception?”

What is the likelihood that this will pass if it gets on the ballot?

The exact same amendment was proposed as an advisory question on the GOP primary ballot in June, 2014, and it passed with almost 80% of the vote.

How can I find out if my state Senator and Representative are supporting this effort?

Go to our pledge signers page. This will show you who has signed a pledge of support and/or co-sponsored these bills. If your Senator or Representative has not done either, contact them, tell them that you are a constituent, and respectfully ask them to sign a pledge of support or co-sponsor the bill. The pledge can be downloaded here. If you do not know who your legislators are, enter your address at http://www.scstatehouse.gov/legislatorssearch.phpand their names will pop up.

Won’t the Federal courts strike down the amendment even if it is passed?

If a Federal court strikes down this amendment, that could be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, setting up a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, which was based in part on the idea that since the personhood of preborn babies had not been established in law, therefore these human lives were not protected as persons under the Constitution.

How would this amendment affect birth control or in vitro fertilization?

This amendment would not affect any type of birth control that acts solely to prevent conception, nor in vitro fertilization processes that do not destroy embryos.

What if someone claims that this amendment is unconstitutional and a waste of taxpayer dollars to litigate through the Federal Courts?

Roe v. Wade itself was unconstitutional, and it must be challenged like other wrong decisions such as Dred Scott. Since God requires that civil government establish  justice, it is a worthy and proper use of taxpayer money for the state of South Carolina to fight to stop the destruction of innocent human life.

Share Christ this Summer with CYIA!

From Mark Mansell –CYIA christian youth in action

Does your teen 15 or older have a heart for Christ and a desire to share the Gospel? Christian Youth in Action, or CYIA, offers a summer internship specifically designed to train students to share their faith.

CYIA is a missions program specifically designed for high school and college age students. Training, materials and ministry opportunities are provided to help students confidently share their faith with children in their very own communities. Each year approximately 100 students across SC reach out to nearly 10,000 children throughout the state.

Some of your training will be held at your local CEF office.  However, a  week-long training school is held at Columbia International University in Columbia, South Carolina. CIU is one of the Premier Missions  universities in the world.   They believe strongly in the CYIA program. They offer tuition discounts to students who serve in CYIA and wish to further their education. There is a cost for your materials, training, meals and lodging. Your local CEF representative will help you discover ways of inviting others to invest in your missions training to help cover some of the expenses.

Update

Baby Kaydence Update from Laura

The doctors said the surgery went well, she is a little swollen from the iv fluids but when she woke, she could breathe on her own so she didn’t need the breathing tube. Thank you so much for your prayers!
