Pastor Don will lead an open and probing conversation about the 2019 film Just Mercy.  All are welcome and encouraged to participate.  The movie can be viewed for free until the end of June on several platforms: Prime, Spectrum, Direct, and Youtube, to name a few.  In July, depending on which phase the church is in, this conversation will be in person (socially distanced and wearing masks) or over Zoom.  The day and time are still to be determined.  

We will begin "In-Person Outdoor Worship" on June 14.  Please CLICK HERE to read all that you should know before planning to attend.  We look forward to seeing all who are able and choose to be present!

A fire on the campus of Epworth Children’s Home in Columbia, which is a ministry of the SC Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, destroyed a building that housed supplies for the children. Please visit HERE to learn how you can help them recover.

Pastor Don is taking a break this summer, but you can still read Bible stories on your own. Pick up a Bible storybook at your library or pull up some stories online.

Children's Chapel will return on Wednesdays in mid-August. We look forward to seeing you there!

We would like to remind everyone that the James Monroe House is in need of food contributions. This need has been heightened by the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused an increase in demand for non-perishable food products such as canned (especially green vegetables) and unopened dry foods.

A donation bin for the James Monroe Mission House has been established inside the Fountain Inn Police Department for any non-perishable food goods you would be able to donate. We have been asked to wipe down the packaging before placing it in the bin.

Should anyone wish to donate, but is unable or uncomfortable dropping off a food donation, we would be willing to pick up your donation and deliver it to the station. Just call us to arrange a pick up on Tuesdays until the church reopens (we will adhere to social distancing guidelines).

Thank you for supporting this very important mission.

Tom and Patty Waggoner
