Introducing the YPPC Care Team! | | |
Congregational Ministries is in the process of revitalizing our ministry to the members of our congregation, including the Prayer Ministry, Shepherding Ministry, and the new YPPC Care Team. The Care Team will be led by Mary Mena Koches. As needs arise within the congregation, emails will be sent out to members of the Care Team who are willing to respond as they are able by providing meals, encouragement, and assistance for those listed at their time of need. If you are willing to have your name/email address added to the YPPC Care Team roster, please contact the church office (843.744.2268). If you have any questions, please contact Martha Trussell or Mary Mena Koches (843.747.7792). | | |

STEPS = Studying + Teaching + Equipping + Praying + Serving | |
This presbytery-wide event is a wonderful opportunity for high school youth and adult church members, teachers, ministry teams, worship/music leaders, officers, and staffs to enrich their faith and understanding of the church. STEPS will take place Saturday, August 27. Saturday will offer a morning of in-person and virtual workshops, concluding with a community gathering with David LaMotte for all. To find out more, check out one of the STEPS brochures in the Narthex, visit www.capresbytery.org/, or contact our own Mary Quinney, a member of the STEPS Planning Team. | |

Our YPPC Meals on Wheels (MOW) Team, led by Mary Mena Koches, makes a difference in the lives of area seniors on Fridays. Mary Mena, Sue and Lynn Browning, Karen and Tim Cookson, and Barbara Freeman, deliver 32 well-balanced meals to the homes of people who are homebound, unable to prepare meals, and have no help to prepare the meals. Not only do the volunteers deliver the meals, they also take the time to get to know each person on their route. Over time, they can tell if anything is out of the ordinary. For many seniors, this weekly visit may be the only contact they have all day or all week. They are very grateful for the meals and really appreciate the personal contact.
The local route covers Hanahan and parts of North Charleston. The meals are picked up at 9:45 on Friday mornings at the Azalea Drive Church of Christ. The route takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
Needless to say, being a member of the MOW team is a commitment. Would you be willing to join this team of difference makers and serve as an occasional substitute? A good way to start would be to ride along with Barbara Freeman on a fourth Friday. (She would enjoy the company, and it would give you a first-hand look at the process.) If you’re interested, please contact Mary Mena Koches at (843) 870-2146 or [email protected].

Current Covid Guidance
Our Covid Protocol level remains at Phase 2 - CDC Risk of Spread - Moderate.
This is based on CDC's revised Risk-of-Spread Metric. In this system, a low risk of spread is green, a moderate risk is yellow, and a high risk is red. The risk level for each county will be posted each week and that will determine the Safety Protocol level we will follow. Our tri-county area currently is at Green (low risk).
Masks, gloves, and hand sanitizer will remain available to anyone who would like them.
