It has been decided to postpone the birthday lunch next Sunday the 25th until a later date due to the possible winter weather system for Sunday.

Good morning my Church family.

I wanted to let everyone know that Deedee’s Aunt Dorthy Dantzler passed away on Monday morning. She was the epitome of a gracious Southern Lady in everything she did. Holly Hill Methodist has lost a gracious spirit and we will miss her so. Please keep Fred Jr. Lisa, David and Anthony in our prayers as they navigate this difficult time.

This link will take you to the obituary from Avinger Funeral Home.

In lieu of Easter Lilies, you will be able to donate in memory or in honor of loved ones. The money this year will go to UMCOR and will be designated for Ukraine relief. Yes, there are UM Churches in Eastern Europe. They are at work now. Giving through UMCOR means that all money will go to relief. The UMC pays all administrative costs. There is a minimum of $20. However, you know that the need is great and we ask that you give accordingly.

1. Put your contribution in the offering plate at anytime. Make checks out to Providence UMC and designate it for Ukraine. If you give cash, please place in an envelope designated “Ukraine.”

2. If you would like you contribution recognized, you will need to fill out the “Easter Alms” sheet and give that to Frankie Locklair by April 10, 2022.

You may print out the sheet below.

This year we are studying the Lord’s Prayer. The cost will be $14 per book. If you wish to share a book, please sign each person up and select the option “No Book (Sharing).” Every person attending needs to sign up!

Due to the passing of Justin’s Grandmother, Church and Sunday School have been cancelled for this Sunday. Next Sunday will be as scheduled.

This is a message from Ann and Bill about the work they are doing in Africa, It was sent to Deedee so we could share it with the Providence Family. Take a look at the videos, some truly blessed work being done.

Hi, Deedee and Mike,

There are no expats travelling to and from Goma anymore, but wanted to get a note of appreciation to Providence UMC. I don’t have an e-mail address, so am sending it to them via you. Thanks for passing it along!

Mainly we wanted to say thanks for the love and support that continues.

But also, it may be of interest to share a few short videos of the work here.

Bill is still travelling off and on… Somalia, South Sudan, Yemen.

First is one I made of the volcano/earthquake relief we have accomplished with our colleagues here:

We are planning for a VBS for a few days in September.

We are starting a ministry to street kinds in Sept. as well.

In October we have planned a training of Sunday School teachers.
There’s always plenty to keep us all busy!

Love,

Ann

A bit off topic. The Tri-County Chamber of Commerce is searching for someone to man the Holly Hill visitors office in the old train depot. We are looking for someone to be there four hours a day, Monday to Thursday. This is basically answering an occasional phone call and greeting locals and visitors to the town. If you, or someone you know might be interested in this, please give me a call at 496-3316 or Sandy Price at the Chamber. 843-563-8187

Please remember that our first Men’s Breakfast in a LONG time is tomorrow. Please plan to be there for great food and wonderful fellowship.
