Thank you to all who participated in the Lowcountry Pregnancy Center diaper and wipe drive! Again, we were overwhelmed with the love and generosity of our parishioners who helped those in need by supporting our Home Missions partner. We were able to collect 3,754 diapers and 2,672 wipes for LPC! They will distribute these items on Mondays and Wednesdays to those families in our lowcountry community who are seeking supplies during these difficult times.

LPC provides families with many other supplies, too, so if you're looking to find a home for your gently used baby items, see the list at the link below and consider donating to LPC!

Again, thank you for providing abundant blessings to our ministry partner as they pour love and support over these families!

It was wonderful to be back in the sanctuary on a weekday evening as we resumed our Wednesdays Alive! services last week! Join us again tonight at 5:30 for our midweek, come-as-you-are service of Holy Communion! While we won't be gathering for supper afterwards, we will be offering two class/fellowship options later in the evening––one via Zoom and one in person. The Rev. Brian McGreevy's new C.S. Lewis class, "Mere Christianity: Timely Truth for a Hurting World," will meet on Zoom at 7:15 p.m., while College Fellowship (for young adults college-aged and up), will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the Youth Room.

We had a great online turnout last week as our resident C.S. Lewis scholar, the Rev. Brian McGreevy, kicked off his new class! Join him tonight at 7:15 p.m. on Zoom as he continues his exploration of C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity," a book that is still remarkably fresh today, serving as an encouragement to the believer, a winsome challenge to the doubter, and an effective apologetic for the unbeliever.

Do you receive Fr. Brian's updates and weekly wrap-up emails? Click here to read the message and materials he sent to the class yesterday, and if you'd like to join his list, let him know!

Everyone seems to have adjusted well to our current worship normal––we hope that you have indeed been worshipping comfortably wherever you are!

Reservations for this Sunday's services of Holy Communion at 8:15 and Morning Prayer at 10:30 open today at 9:00 a.m.

Childcare during the 10:30 service is now available for infants and young people through age five, with limited capacities within each age group. You may register at the link below after first registering to attend the 10:30 service, or you may call the church office at (843) 722-7734 to reserve space.

We have excellent news for all those bakers who missed out on displaying their delicious talents on the Tea Room dessert table: We're having a bake sale!

Details about the sale itself are forthcoming. For now, we are looking for volunteers to bake! Our "menu" will be limited, and bakers will drop items at the church office ahead of time to be frozen or drop fresh items off the day of the sale.

If you have questions or would like to volunteer, please email Hope Gamble.

Last Wednesday and Thursday, the St. Philip's office was filled with very special visitors from the St. Philip's Preschool! We saw Elsa, a lion, an elephant, a tractor, a Minion, Thomas the Tank Engine, a skeleton, Tinkerbell, a ghost, and ... well, we lost track of them all! And our clergy team had a special visitor, too: Father Hare!

If you follow St. Philip's on social media, you heard about this already. If you have a Facebook or Instagram account and you don't follow St. Philip's, what are you waiting for?

We are looking to add to our wonderful infant and toddler paid nursery staff! We are currently seeking patient, kind, dedicated, and responsible childcare workers (ages 15 and up) for Sunday mornings (9:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon).

Other responsibilities include diapering, feeding, and comforting children and helping to maintain a safe and healthy nursery environment.
